Mario Balotelli--A hero

T'was Sunday night and we were all transfixed to the telly,

Ready to watch the pace,strength and technique of Mario Balotelli.

Controversy and trouble seem to follow him wherever he goes,

A perplexing management challenge,but the most promising of pros.

The people's view of Mario changed over night,

A loose canon,a sharp shooter with power and might.

Two brilliant goals against Germany in the semis he scores,

Both dedicated to Silvia,his foster mum,whom he dearly adores.

Getting to the final and not winning is like going to Rome and not seeing the Pope,

But take heart Mario, you have a future full of glory and hope.

Put the Euro final swiftly to bed,

Shed a few tears then keep a cool head.
