Football Poem: Welcome to our team, the first gay male footballer

The football world is now
changing - something is
being revealed,
Something which will
make history - both on
and off the field.

For decades it has been
known - but no one dare
come out -
For fear of persecution -
and everyone would
shout?

The world of male football -
will change now, and for
ever,
True feelings are coming
out - we are now all
together.

“What am I talking about,
you ask me so politely?
The element of change,
my friends - for a whole
new sexuality.”

The men’s sport will now
feature - the first ever
gay man,
This will change the way
we play - accept it? Yes,
we can!

The first gay footballer -
is making history,
No more hiding away -
coming out to be free.

Welcome to the 21st
century - and we all
welcome this change
to be.
There’s nothing wrong
with a gay footballer -
we welcome you with
glee.

The team accepts this
news - and smiles at
the star,
“Don’t you worry, we
welcome you - now
you will go far.”

More teams will follow
suit - as more players
come out as gay,
There’s nothing to be
ashamed of - we love
you either way?

Everyone is happy - as
the gay footballer is now
here,
And when the full time
whistle blows - we can
enjoy a nice cold beer!!!!

All the bigotry is in the
past - and that is history,
For every footballer is
so equal - and that is
plain to see.

Hallelujha, I know this
now - and every man
is equal -
From footballers - to
the referee - the game
is now on schedule.

Everyone’s the same -
no one is any different,
Now we play our football -
and enjoy the crowd
excitement.

Congratulations is for
sure - as barriers are
broke down.
From gay men - to
straight men - we all
wear one crown.

The world has now
made history - and
we salute it every year.
Please welcome to our
football team - the
‘first gay football player.’e
