After Half-Time!

The roads are empty – flags flap free
Most sit at home and watch TV
This match, so long-awaited, starts
Fever pitch in many hearts.

France and Belgium sweat it out
Tensions on both sides, no doubt
Half-time but still no goals are scored
Amazing! Nothing to applaud!

Two age-old enemies compete
Both want to be in driving seat
Sport titillates, makes their blood boil
Fierce battlefield - on foreign soil...

We're all on edge – the whistle blows
A lot depends on nifty toes
Two Nations now defend their honour
Who can boast a Maradona?

****

One goal by France and Blue beats Red
So the Gallic team's a step ahead
The Belgian dream goes up in smoke;
The Devils lose - but get my vote!
