A Career of Two Halves

entry picture

So Beckham is doing a timeshare

Playing for LA and Milan.

I think it’s a brilliant idea

Every player should follow his plan.

 

Wayne Rooney can timeshare with Watford,

Taste life outside the top flight.

Let’s see how flash his play is when

Away at Cardiff on a cold winter’s night.

 

Bring Ronaldo to Luton!

British football at it’s grass roots

And if, just once, he tried diving

Defenders would kick him out of his boots.

 

Imagine, every premiership Prima Donna

Timesharing with the game’s lower leagues

Far away from the fame and the limelight

Just the football, training and fatigue.

 

Then, perhaps, at last they’d realise

They’re living every boy’s dreams

And might learn a little humility

And lead lifestyles a little less obscene.
