FROM SON TO KANE, FROM KANE TO SON

entry picture

You’ve seen this happen times before

You’ve read the script, you know the score

You know it’s coming once again

From Heung-min Son to Harry Kane.

 

The ever-present threat is there

It’s peril to ignore this pair

A quick glance up – the pass is on

From Harry Kane to Heung-min Son.

 

From England and from South Korea

Respect for them then turns to fear

Their currency’s both joy and pain

That’s Heung-min Son and Harry Kane.

 

Their speed of thought when on the ball

Will breach the best defensive wall

It takes one pass – and then he’s gone

From Son to Kane or Kane to Son.

 

At stadia throughout these lands

On terraces and in the stands

Or home at Wembley or the Lane

It’s Kane to Son and Son to Kane.

 

So keep your Beckhams or George Best

Your Shearers, Owens and the rest

For me no brighter stars have shone

Than Harry Kane and Heung-min Son.

You really must get out of Grimstone once in a while, Kevin.

I liked the rhythm of this, though I didn't really understand what it was about.
I'm assuming that they are footballers, or sportsmen of some type.

Good though they are, I think neither is quite as effective without the other, Greg. Although, having said that, we made it to the CL Final a couple of years ago without Kane.

Irreplaceable when injured, eh, JC?

Thanks, MC. I tried to capture a sense of “reversibilty” in the relationship.
And thanks for the Like, Holden.

Deserving of being printed in a Spurs football programme.
Clever in its consistency of the to-ing and fro-ing of the lines
finishing the verses....suggestive of the passing of the ball itself.
