Be Positive

Let self-esteem make you beam.

Make thick-skin your fort.

Have Belief in every dream

And hold that Positive Thought.

About Me

(Me)

 

 

I’m a geographer who doesn’t much like to travel,

A writer who reads slow,

Artistic scientist,

With not a lot to show.

An enigmatic person

With strengths and foibles too.

For I am only human,

Very much like you.

A historian with a bad memory,

That just sums me up.

I have my limitations,

Yet still a half-full cup.

I may be self-effacing,

But have the strength to be honest.

I’ll get there in the end,

To fulfil what I’ve promised.

I know that isn’t a lot,

But I do have my talents.

When all is said and done,

My books do more or less balance.

I’m happy with myself I have to say,

So if you are a critic

Get on your way.

Claudio Ranieri

Dilly dally dong

Ranieri has now gone.

Sacked by the Leicester board:

Watch them wield that deadly sword.

He won the league last year,

Then made Leicester disappear.

Should have been given a chance

To win the Relegation Dance.

Vardy grabs an away goal at Seville

Then next news the manager is nil.

It was a very nasty shock,

So early in the turning of the clock.

Ungrateful and disloyal too,

Those owners haven’t got a clue.

Hard-nosed business it may be,

Whatever happened to that word “We”?

They should have built a statue in Claudio’s name:

He’ll still be blessed with endless fame.

I’ll leave you with this sorry thought:

Football’s no longer a proper sport.
