Post-Euro 2020

Such drama on the evening news

Where big round balls kept fans amused;

Now there’s a lull – nail-biting done

The Italians clinched it when they won.

 

Wimbledon fortnight too is past.

Top class sport put out to grass!

What will now engage our Nation

As travel plans cause hesitation?

 

Weatherwise, we are not blessed

Tough to predict how we should dress

Though mugginess may help our plants

And constant rain their growth enhance.

 

The silly season - in full swing

Mad search for items that will bring

Wry smiles to those who stay at home

Live separated, or alone …

 

Who dip into my little rhymes

Recounting life in virus times;

England (the country, not the team),

Will soon banish quarantine…

 

Other countries hedge their bets

Fear of COVID their context;

So, who knows how this will play out?

Sport of another kind, no doubt!
