Poetic Versus About the Semi Final Round

Four score, nothing there  

Ukraine lost the Roman hosted sporting affair  

Back in London Boris raises a Saturday pint  

Proclaiming success on this summer’s night  

Soon the red, white boys will be coming home  

Right now, Wembly is dark and alone  

Waiting for Tuesday’s Spanish Inquisition  

Italy goalers planning their position  

But as for the Danes  

Wednesday is their game  

A fairy tale  

Against the old guard writing the daily mail  

No reason to complain  

Dickens and Anderson will be talked about noting societal fame  

UK will put up their best  

Defending a modern-day stadium nest  

While those from Denmark  

Will be able to hark  

Under the lights in the evening’s dark  

Hollering Christian ‘we love you’  

While turning Nordic Leif on Erikson too 

A protagonist inside the sports book pages  

Hero to those counting wages   

 British need to hold serve  

To get what they deserve  

A trip to the Championship round  

And a trophy worthy of a couple pounds  

Giving to the victor who wins it all  

Competing in UEFA European futbol
