----- A Jinjagoliath poem: 3rd August 2023 ----- *FIRST PLACE* (joint) FIFA Women's Word Cup 2023 Competition Sponsored by: Mark Toney -----
It's a ball and you kick it Seems simple enough But it's more than a game 'cos you have to be tough I'm not talking a buzz-cut Or some scars from a fight For this resolve is internal Overlook it, you might You may cuss, scowl or spit That doesn't impress Now this game's claimed by women Swapping shorts from a dress And the girls that will follow In their thousands for sure In competitive joy This old game has it's cure: It is teamwork and faith It is laughter and tears It is training like crazy It is banishing fears There's never been greater A reason or rhyme To describe this potential.. Ladies - this is your time For the men have inspired us Reaching dizzying heights But the women converting So many wrongs into rights Take tenacity, love Add a wholesome respect Work ethic unriveled With the fans they connect Crossing boundaries, restoring All that seemed far apart The game has been longing for This feminine heart
