Sonnet on Lennon

Eternal Spirit of the chainless Legs!Aaron Lennon
Brightest in shorts, Winger! thou art;
For there thy dribbling is the part,
The White Hart Lane which love of thee cannot bind;
And when the plane to South Africa consigned,
To periphery, the impact sub’s dayless gloom,
The country conquers, you long for Tottenham,
Whilst Walcott’s pace on the wing is like wind.
Lennon! the bench is thy place,
And the sad pitch so distant ’tis untrod,
Until Walcott’s steps have left a trace
Worn, his inevitable injury will be a sod,
By Capello! There’s another source of pace!
Now appeal to the bench for Lennon.

    It’s going to be huge on the terraces during the World Cup.

    Aaron Lennon
    His eyebrows are frightening but he’s quicker than lightening
    Aaron Lennon
    Why, why, why, why are his crosses too high
    Aaron Lennon

    Imagine there’s no Lennon
    It’s easy if you try
    No old fashioned wing play
    Or crosses being supplied
    Imagine all the strikers
    Kneeling down to pray

    Imagine there’s no countries
    No Moldova, no Peru
    Nothing to cheer or boo for
    And no Shay Given too
    Imagine Otto Rehhagel
    Not being coach of Greece

    You may say we can’t win it
    That all our hope is gone
    I hope our back line isn’t porous
    And our games will all be won

    Imagine no possession
    I wonder if you can
    No need for pointless square balls
    A huge task on our hands
    Imagine all the St Georges
    Never being unfurled

    We may hope to be winners
    Like Steve Hodge or Big Ron
    I hope someday we can make it
    To the Semis and beyond
