PRETTY BOYS

PRETTY BOYS by Rick Haynes

For all those overpaid and oversexed footballers.

With football awash with so much money, the players can retire to their palatial homes and enjoy life without worry.

Some support charities, others try to erase discrimination, but for the rest, your guess is as good as mine.

That said, a little humour goes a long way.

A FOOTBALL DRABBLE

Pretty Boys. Pretty Boys.

All in a row.

The bigger the heads, the egos do grow.

The team keep on losing.

It’s never their fault.

Yet the fee was so big for the player – you bought.

Where are the captains?

The leaders of men.

To give them a kick, now . . . and again.

Pretty Boys. Pretty Boys.

Looking to score.

With a lady or two, or even some more.

Pretty Boys. Pretty Boys.

It’s only a game.

You’re off to new pastures. Oh! What a shame.

Pretty Boys. Pretty Boys.

Looking so fine.

Phone disconnected; it’s the end of your line.
