Sunday Footie

Sunday Footie

Excited young faces,
Stick thin legs and untied laces,
Breathlessly chasing the ball,
Youngsters large and small.

Proud parents look on,
Good goal son let's have another one,
Watching in the freezing cold,
Feeling tired and old.

Half-time and out comes the flask,
Cold hands make opening it quite a task,
Juniors won man of the match,
This weeks losers demand a rematch.

Gangly legs and too long shorts,
Sunday is a day for sports,
Our kids have a mission,
To uphold this proud tradition.
