30 months, or thereabouts
Most don’t last so long
And most don’t generate
So many contradictory words
Strong bonds were made
Talk of a Wednesday family
Which resonates, yet does not mean
Quite the same to all nations
So, among this morning’s words
I find: sadness, hurt, anger
Dismay, disappointment, loyalty
Misunderstandings, dismissal
Altogether they add up to a confusion
Which does resonate, and means the same
Across all leagues, across all divisions:
Where did we lose our way
Where and when did the round ball
And the tribes of tribal supporters
Get handed over to the international money men
For their controlling stamp of disapproval
