The Non-Football Fan’s Lament
Messi’s scored again
The ball has hit the net
And my father-in-law
Makes a disturbing roar
I’d really much rather forget
Messi’s scored again
And my son sings ‘campeones’
He’s only two but knows
What to do and shows
What team his own is
Messi’s scored again
And the wife lets out a squeal
Such a silly sound
Just coz he’s found
A goal against Real
Messi’s scored again
And the family’s in convulsions
He’s made it four
I use the door
In search of other compulsions
