Suppose football does serve a purpose some males do need other interests in their lives <br />Than working or drinking of alcohol or arguing with or making love to their girl friends or wives <br />On saturday they go to the football to cheer on their team win or lose <br />'Tis better for them than going to the local and wasting their money on the booze <br />At least watching football they won't be losing brain cells as they do when they are on the grog <br />And next day feeling nauseated and hung over and as sick as a very sick dog <br />Their partners and wives happy to see them going to the football for to support their football club <br />They feel that for them it is far better than guzzling down grog at the pub <br />In football there can be disappointments when your team does not win the game <br />But for every winner there is a loser and to lose should never be a shame <br />There's more to life than grog and work and women there is that marvellous game known as football <br />To you and many others 'tis a passion and your team to you is the greatest team of all.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/suppose-football-does-serve-a-purpose/
