Neighbourhood Football





There was a time

We played touch

Football on the road

Motorists were patient

Stopped right behind

The hut hut

Watched the play

Clapped or honked

For a finesse

Or good manoevre.

Secretly had favourites.

High school ball

Not too far off.


But now the drivers

Have no time

No civility

Self- important schmucks

Entitled, haven’t got a

Nano second to spare

To watch our flair.

Despair of that.
