Long Footie Poems

WILL YOU?
He takes me on vacation to a resort 
just off the coast of Aruba. The hotel 
room is amazing...everything in it is 
white red and pink. From the 
couches, rugs and comforter on the...

HOME. By Ted Bundy

There is a place not far from here where purple maggots are the size of deer, pink frogs are there wearing bowties  and hats, now put your hands together for the...

Ladies sitting on a bus with nothing much to discuss
Just the daughter’s wedding and the fuss
As another passenger gets on the bus
The sales are on “jeans and tops” she declares
Now she really got a bargain...

_Better than
nothing_


 I live somewhere,
it's not home

It's just a place to
be

I suppose I should
be grateful

I'm not on the
streets

It isn't special

But it's better than
nothing.


I go to a place in
the mornings

And eat beans on
toast

Bread from
Sainsbury's

That they couldn't
sell

It's...

Thinking about Brian's recent Footle contest (my crazy eyes had been seeing FOOTIE all this 
time and just realized yesterday it is called FOOTLE with LE on the end) I proceeded to drive 
to the...

We played hide and seek
Running around the park.
And a game called british bulldogs,
It really was a lark.

Then there was scrumping apples
And getting chased off by the man.
How we loved knock and run,
Oh, how fast we...

She was only a whore they said
Just a druggie on the game
Most of the papers couldn’t be
Bothered to correctly spell her name.
Just an illegal immigrant tart,
Part of one of those foreign mobs
Over here to claim...

Recollections were a little hazy,
His leaving party last night,
Undying friendships sworn,
That last friendly little fight.
Goodbye, Scotland the Brave,
Home of the warrior Clan,
The Batter Fried Mars Bar,
The Rangers footie fan,
Cool pints of Heavy
Plates of ‘taties and...

I don't feel very good today,
Can you see it in my eyes?
I'm never off the toilet,
No! it wasn't all the pies.

I have probably caught a bug,
You know, the type that's going around.
I must have caught...

Is this the land fit for heroes
Promised by the Great War,
Or, just one where those with
Take ever more and more.
I’m  just a working man
Brought up to accept 
My lowly role in life
To treat with...

Large fuzzy pajamas with a hood
Used to be for toddlers.
Now I have them.
They are getting rather worn.
My zebra go-to-pajamas.

My husband ordered me another pair.
They are big enough to fit around me, thus
they are about eighteen...

Football Or Death

Surely there must already be a test

Because has anyone seen the news tonight
The one where many of us take fright
All staying away from the night
Where some footie fans
With their might
Kill us all despite
Covid...

LETTING GO

Lingering claw marks denied my compliance 
Etching my desire into their defiance
Tears that say good-bye to ages passing
Tears that hide a Dad’s love everlasting
Indifference, feigned stoicisms lie -
Nurturing the strength to let them fly

There once was a man nicknamed  " Nutty "
It was down to the way he played Footie,
Each match he'd score ten
Again and again
Then he'd pop off for a pint and a butty.

Each family tree...

The Earth is slowly baking
But nobody seems to care,
There’s footie on the Tele
Election Fever in the air.
The rich are getting richer
The poor more beaten down
The food banks growing 
In every City and town.
Another summer approaches,
Maybe...

Footie on the Telly.

Footie on the telly, England verses France.
They'll kick the ball into the net then do a silly dance.
The fans they like to chant a song, they love to sing and shout.
Then there'll...
