Monkey Business

 
Knit one purl one
Had no one told them to beware geeks bearing gifts
For wooden horse read cheeky monkey

Pulling the wool over their eyes


Look at me without a stitch on
Pass your slip stitch over your head
What a pair of strikers you have up front
My defence is in all sorts of trouble
 
ITV Digital one Football league nil
When money’s only a promise it’s caveat vendor
No gambling for Vegas
Only the monkey and the league were stuffed
 
I’m looking forward to our midfield tussle
Your ball winner versus my distributor
No route one stuff from me
I’ve trained for extra time
 
The double back cross stitch worked wonders
With Carlton needles and Granada wool
When the ITVD logo began to unravel
There was no one left to blame
 
I’ll happily absorb your pressure
Make exploratory runs down your flanks
Gently probe your sensitive spots
Until I achieve total penetration
 
With Keegan’s flair for tactics
They forgot to check the players’ registration
Red carded for incompetence by the top referee
Their grey suits should go towards the armbands now required
 
I’m in the box.  I shoot
A loud roar, explosion of colours, GOAL
Whistle blasts inside our heads.  A score draw
No penalties for us.  We play for love.  The game goes on.
