England Lionesses in the 2023 FIFA World Cup FINAL – “Poetry in motion” by J W Nelson

The anticipation is building. The moment of truth awaits. All you you can do is sit on the edge of your seat. The result is unknown; sitting in the future as fate…

England and its long history of Football have reached the top of the summit for only the second time in their illustrious history. In some very minuscule way, I hope to convey some positive vibes for their final on Sunday August 20th against the Spanish side that will be the toughest of tests.

Anyway here is my poetic attempt at motivation (and fingers crossed hope!!)

When The Final Whistle Blows…

When the final whistle blows,

How will you feel?

Has Russo and Kelly boosted our mood

Will Earps protect our goal like a shield?

 

When the final whistle blows,

Can Carter and Walsh protect us?

Or will Bright and Bronze safeguard our back

Or should we ‘Jose’ and park the bus…

When the final whistle blows,

The young James and Stanway arrive;

Speed and skill intertwine

Our ‘young bloods’ are starting to thrive

 

When the final whistle blows,

Toone and Hemp move at pace;

Let’s trouble their defensive guard

Make them think and give them something else to face

When the final whistle blows,

England and Daly add more to the mix;

Left or right makes no odds

A problem we hope any team can’t fix

 

When the final whistle blows,

Greenwood, Charles and Morgan sit tight;

Calmness, confidence, plus speed suits us fine

In any match, any day or any ‘final’ night

 

When the final whistle blows,

We hope to be tripping the light fantastic;

Robinson, Coombs and Charles make sure

We won’t need anything too drastic

When the final whistle blows

Where will you all be?

It could be heaven or in some hell of a place

Whatever the result – we’ll all have to wait and see…

 

When the final whistle does blow

57 years is a long time to ‘roam’

We all just hope and pray; with a nod and a wink

Sarina; will bring our football home…

(Come on England!)

BOOK REVIEW DIRECTORY – REVIEW OF PENTAGON PIRATE GANG; THE SECRET OF THE ORCHARD

This is the first book in the series

Here are some EXCERPTS “From students being sorted into “houses,” the houses able to earn “points,” one teacher on school grounds that’s allowed to keep animals, readers may recognize that there are some elements that are reminiscent of the Harry Potter series. With a diverse cast of characters and a puzzle-like quest, PPG: The Secret of the Orchard has more than enough unique qualities to set it apart”

“In Pentagon Pirate Gang: The Secret of the Orchard, a group of students come together to unravel the mystery behind S.O.F.T, the School of Fruit Teaching. Five students think they’ll have an ordinary summer camp experience but with no parents around, and suspicious teachers circling, they are sucked into a whirlwind adventure they could’ve never expected”
