Saturday night football

Saturday night is rather quiet

The football you see is on

You’ve got a pick of AFL

Or League and Union tests

The TV is not mine for the viewing

When football hits the screen

And as I don’t like listening

To commentators as they preen

I tend to hide away from sports

Except for Summer Tennis.

A friend once was disgusted

By my encylopeadia of ignorance

And she marched me to a TV screen

And taught me the rules of Rubgy

Then I actually played some touch

I even managed a try

But no matter what interventions

My friends and family have tried

I still do not like viewing whilst listening to idle ramblings

I will not watch the football

When commentators are going on.
