Poem: Football is a Game… Simply out of this world

The planets float around all
day - within the outer space,
They sometimes chat and
watch TV - they do this so
with grace.
They’ve discovered a new
interest - which really does
intrigue,
They get together every
week - and watch the English
Football Premier League!

These planets have been so
dormant - but they discovered
a magic moment,
They were told of the English
Premier League - so they
checked out this installment!
They saw the angels all sat
down - watching Real Madrid -
They shouted and they clapped
their wings - just as all the
humans did!

Then the planets got a TV -
made by Panasonic,
They then started to watch
the football - and the teams
were really magic.
The planets were all so
amazed - and while watching
Barcelona -
When Barcelona scored a goal,
they shouted: ‘HALLELUJHA!’

All the angels and the planets
had never seen this before,
They were watching European
football - ‘oh, what a score!!!!’
The universe was all lit up -
as the planets lit up their lights,
And all the angels sat with
them - to watch the football
highlights!

They really were all cheering -
and the planets were so
excited,
‘This game of earthling football -
is really very good - and we’ll
have to watch Man United!
So every Saturday, they all
gathered round - like something
out of Star Trek;
‘And watched all the European
football - the results they did
so check.’

These planets are also very
thrilled with the brilliant’ Inter
Milan,
Watching them play in the
their space galaxy - everything
goes to plan.
The planets tell the angels - of
these fabulous new teams,
And when the magic floodlights
shine - you can see them in
your dreams.

From Saturn, Earth and Neptune,
and Mars soon follows suit,
Jupiter is also there - eating juicy
fruit!
The planets have now discovered -
a truly remarkable game,
From the European super teams -
all do make their name.

A new galaxy of planet stars - are
shining in the sky,
The planets are watching the football -
the English Premier League, so high.
The magic is all there - and the planets
are all so thrilled -
The super European football leagues -
their skill is now distilled.

The game of football and soccer, has
reached outer space,
The planets are so impressed - they
even do say grace!
When the games have ended - and
they meet their perfect hosts;
‘The planets are now introduced - to
the brilliant O-Posts.’
So welcome to the game of football -
as the planets all shout; ‘HOORAY!’
‘Thank you so very much - and we’ll
see you all on Saturday!!!!’
