"Oh, Messi, Ah, Messi, " lost chances prompting, <br />He would carry the day not a few fans wishing, <br />2014 World Cup final tackles reckless getting, <br />Each passing moment hue and cry mounting, <br />South Americans to fate resigned, grieving, <br />German coach for a glorious day plotting, <br />Referee a penalty shoot-out envisaging, <br />Maracana disappearing seconds counting, <br />Planet Earth on TV a baited breath holding, <br />Frenzied bookie's cigar in the mouth hanging, <br />Enter Mario Gotze, dying minutes bets choking, <br />His brave volley Argentine goalie sent sprawling. <br /> <br />Lagos, Aug.24,2014<br /><br />GEORGE AMADI<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/enter-mario-gotze/
