The football world’s fractured with war
Over Video Assistant VAR,
If in sports as in life
Things scarce are sharp as knife,
What use all this ‘against’ or ‘for’?
Tempers do on games soar,
Should they be football lore?
Hail loss-win less, sportsmanship more.

Note: VAR= Video Assistant Referee. The Football World Cup round of 16 between Argentina and Egypt was marred with controversy what with stakes so high causing tempers to rise. This ditty suggests less focus on loss and win and more on sportsmanship.
Uski do chamkte ankh,
Masomiyat vare hen lakh.
Wo uski khil khila ti hasi,
Lagta he wo hasi moh jesi.
Uski lehrate anchal,
Var dete hen dil me sookon ke pal.
Uski wo gore gore bahe,
Gale lagake jo pyar jata ye.
Uski pani jesa saaf sa man,
Sab kam karne ke liye he pran
Uski wo parion jesi chal,
Chori karle sabki khyal.
Uski hi karta rahunga intezaar
lene pade chahe janam hazar .
English version of the poem
Her two dazzling eyes
Filled with millions of smplicity
That blossomed smile of her
Feels like matrix
Her swinging hair
Feels butterflies in my heart
Her two fair fair hands
Which cuddles me in my dream
Her crystal clear heart
Wants to spread love for everyone
Her angel like walk
Steals everyones conscience
I will wait for her
Though i have to take birth for thousand and million times.
Halloween witch rode in on the most fantastic looking broom.
It was fiber optic powered and it made her body fairly zoom.
It also had a hot-rod sound, so she came in with a Var-oom!
But someone had hot-wired it wrong; she was gone with a boom.
Come to the cross, the precious cross
Upon which our Savior shed his blood;
Cast down your sin and enter in
At Calvary, with its crimson flood.
Come to the cross, the precious cross
Where Jesus died for a sinful world;
Cast down your sin, and enter in
At Calvary, with its crimson flood.
CHORUS
At Cal-var-y, at Cal-var-y,
Where Jesus bled and died for me.
Come to the cross, the precious cross
It was there my Savior died for me;
I’ll cast down my sin, and I’ll enter in
The crimson flood at Cal-var-y.
CHORUS
At Cal-var-y, at Cal-var-y,
Where Jesus bled and died for me.

have you heard of the cloud appreciation society?
Jesus Christ
cloud spotters
points for clouds
you got ya stratocumulus
I just saw a cumulus congestus tower
thirty points for that
fifty-five points for stacked plates
kelvin-helmholtz
sundogs
rainbows
pyrocumulus
smoke from the kettle counts
one bloke submitted steam from his fried sausages
crematoriums are out I said
some of them disputed my evaluations
I've got the handbook I told them
I understand the science of the sky
one said we should have cloud spotting VAR
I told them sod it then
hot aahe majhe aarogy ugech ksheen
majhee avastha deenahoonhee deen

majhe kaam mala thevil tumchyat shesh

firat gaogaavi parapranti rajya pradesh
hey parameshwara majla de upyukt var

VAR dispute
USA three match shutout-
Rio loss avenged
In net ball go
var say no
out ball go
Charlieku (var of 2-3-4)
engraved bubbling hark! the tinkling
on hard rock with happiness laughter
a pact of love wild daisies of bluebells
blooming the joy begonia
with rising sun of giving sweet promises
chicory no bartering at stake
meditation like a crocus her words
in the woods open up a fleeting touch
silence to warmth of warm breeze
justice- frothy bridge crossing
truth is not indulgence the stream and I
exchangeable morning pleasure skipping
a free deal riding waves soulful
at the grocer’s- living clarity
gossip for the moment chickadee’s song

Own goal, VAR
Pogba, Mbappe, Griezmann-
Five reasons France won
OMG pitch invaders!
Second French World Cup title
IF ever I had a country : XIII - XIV
XIII
IF ever I had a country
And if ever I were the Sports Secretary
I'd remind every sportsman performing for money
That the buying and selling of humans born free
Died with slavery in the Nineteenth Century
And put behind bars all club committees found guilty
That is, if ever I were the Sports Secretary
And even if I never ever had no country
XIV
If ever I had a country
And if ever I were the Sports Secretary
I'd fine any sportsman his salary for hood-winking the referee
After every judo throw and karate jab above or below the knee
Just when the ball's dribbled to the goal --- for a penalty
Even if the VAR-referee is blind to what we see on TV
That is, if ever I were the Sports Secretary
And this, even if I never ever had no country

Suyun akisi gibi geldide geçti iste
Ince bir tüy gibi sallanirken annem
Içime düsen kor gibi atesti bende
Nasil bir hicran yarasiydi annem.
Aciyi emanet birakip gittigin zaman
Yüzün eksilmisti bütün aynalardan
Nefret duyarim artik tüm ayriliklardan
Atlikarincadan düstügüm gündü annem.
Gökten yildiz düserdi ogul dedikçe
Müzmin agri gibi saplandin içime
Yarim kalan o bahtiyar günlerimize
Sevgiden yoksun yasiyorum annem.
Hep eksik birseyler var yoklugunda
Kaygilarla dolu yüregini andigimda
Dilimin dönmedigi kubbenin altinda
Gözümde tüter yattigin toprak annem.
Muhal sözlerim,ki lal olur kalbrinde
Solan açmazki giden gelmez haliyle
Say,ki yoklugunun ahi deger kalbime
Sanki tecelli ediyor gül yüzün annem...
