England Bows Out!

The red rose wilts, the lions crouch
St. George's flag now flutters south
With sweaty limbs, all caked with grime
Exhausted, into extra time,

The English, far from Agincourt,
Failed to beat the Croats' score
Fiercely-fought, both sides intense;
The Croats now will meet the French.

Thrills, spills and substitutes galore
The crowds in uproar, wanting more
The tension mounts – World Cup in sight
But who will win it on the night?

(c) Poet in the woods 2018

Croatia: 2 England: 1
