The big game it is over the winners celebrate <br />The losers heavy hearted seem in a sorry state <br />Little consolation to them to be gallant in defeat <br />For them there is no fanfare no bands playing in the street <br />The big game it is over for the winners a big parade <br />They are on top of the World one can say they have it made <br />The losing fans feel shattered no laughter as they drink their beers <br />The pub more like a wake house some even close to tears <br />The big game it is over the biggest game of the year <br />And the Hometown of the winners echo to joy and cheer <br />The streets are thronged with people a carnival atmosphere <br />To celebrate the winners of the biggest game of the year <br />The big game it is over and the Football Stadium is dark and quiet <br />But there's music, song and dance and laughter in the winners Hometown tonight.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-big-game-it-is-over/
