Essex girl Sandie Shaw
bare-footed held the floor
Famed for a Puppet-on-a-string
her win made all England sing
This game so popular, a Euro ball
all over the world, it's globally played
even the Euro Championship this year
everyone looked forward many said
It should have been played in 2020
but due to covid delayed till now
so many things leftover from last year
amazing skill to delight in, WOW!
But now the time has arrived
it's all action nothing else but play
real competition nothing left to spare
many wishing to win on their day
Being a Scot hoping for the best
promise so much but fail to deliver
but maybe this time we'll rise above
to show ourselves so very clever
So hope everybody enjoys it all
the football is firstly top class
being why we call it a beautiful game
real quality all the way to the final pass
(The European Football Championships (Euro 2020) have just started a year late! It runs from June 11th, 2021 to July 11th, 2021: a whole month: a feast of football! This is written on this feast of football and my thoughts upon it.)
OCTAVE:
LORD, this morning, thank you. This SONnet will please, tease, release:
I greet thee, having access to Your throne by Jesus
And His sacrifice on Calvary: We pray against the Virus
With a sunshiny name, an aura of a name, "a garland" ...
Corona Virus, COVID-19, or SARS-Cov-2, Thy Hand
Is mighty and righteous, always Righteous, even in judgment
God of Grace and Love, forgiveness and Provisioning
Forgive me my greed, envy, jealousy, smallness and scheming
SESTET:
I intercede for others now, nations and peoples, as did Moses & Joshua
Ethiopia, guide, teach, help Ethiopia ... leaders there, who are fair;
All of Europe, I know you won't mind some repeats
Bless little Eritrea, so steeped in civil war, now at peace
Bless all peoples in nations that begin with the letter "E"
In heart of America, Ecuador, where we go to Galapagos, as did Darwin ...
We forgive tourists & others as we're forgiven! CORONA time when unity begins

Granit Xhaka
was aiming just under the bar
what went wrong is logistically moot
but no Gunner will ever be begging he shoot.
In nine countries,Dollar,comes the currency in rule,
The US Dollar,is strong and plays a big role,
The exchange,change hands and more involve,
Dollar par to gold, fine,old and a fun of love,
Big or small,same in size,the Dollar note,
The "Green", as called in business to quote,
In all walks of life,there comes and goes hero,
To fight Dollar,came from Europe,money Euro,
Now,old,pale,very tired and weak fear to pick,
All souls deal in Dollar also fell in sick,
Though a Dollar note reads,"We trust in God!",
The people evades in distrust the Dollar note in odd!
