Topical and Encompassing.

I'm encompassing the planet, all of it. Below are two acrostic poems about 'the world game'. One spells the word SOCCER, which is what we Kiwis, them Aussies and those Yanks call the game. The other spells FOOTBALL.

S is for Sophia Loren a talented Italian.

O is for olive branch (a young and supple one, not some dry and brittle twig).

C is for cor as in Cor Blimey!

C is for calcium and healthy bones.

E is for Evers-Swindell twins, talented kiwis.

R is for Rooney, Loony, Big Bum Goobie!


F is for feet, duh...

O is for Oo aa Umanga!

O is for Oo aa a nil all draw.

T is for testicles, sometimes referred to as 'balls' (but not footballs, that would just be weird).

B is for bollocks, a solid and expressive word used to describe referee's decisions.

A is for All Whites in Africa, perhaps a little rebranding was in order...

L is for location, location, location (top left hand corner boys).

L is for Lampard, Rampard, Diddle Dum Fartipants!

Meloncauliflower.

Melon:
Pink and Fleshy
No reason to moisturise
Cut with a sharp blade

Then:
Mushy and toothless
Not so hot at crosswords
Prone to breaks and falls

Cauliflower:
Young and peppery
Tight and together
Snap with a stiff wrist

Then:
Yellowing, soft
Fraying and seperate
Cloaked in bechamel

A melancholy flower
