Consider a game of football

That’s gone into extra time

Their team is winning the game 6-0

So, sadly, that team’s not mine!

 

All of a sudden the skies break apart

And so starts a thunderous storm

The ref takes the players off from the pitch

“For safety” the tannoys inform.

 

But after ten minutes the storm has passed

The ref has restarted the game

It’s a curse of being a football fan

We wonder just why we all came.

 

We settle for more of this torture

It can’t go much further downhill

The tannoys then make their announcements

“The game will restart at 0-0”.

 

Of course, this is all stuff and nonsense

“What ludicrous tosh” you all say

Well, tell that to those who run motorsport;

Tell that to the daft FIA.
