World Cup 2018

I had never seen a world cup game, until now.
Unexpectedly, it came about somehow.
Exciting it was, on the edge of my seat... through.
I Found myself talking to the TV too!
Go! Go! Go with it! Clapping, as my dog barked.
So much fun, a new interest had sparked!
I saw the end, France came through on top.
At this point, I didn’t even want it to stop.
I celebrated their win and now I shout,
Another 4 years?  What’s that about?

"Another 4 years?" is about keeping the world on the edge of our seats; just like a good series annual ending. Well, we'll just have to bide our time and engage in other things. Well done.
