Love and Football II

By Narendranath

I have a Fabregas jersey

And don’t know what to do with it.

I fear buying one of van Persie-

Too much for my heart and pocket.

A gift my girlfriend gave to me,

Love and winning are too good to

Last like the unbeaten trophy

Season. Life and football- ditto.

How will I ever live without

Her? A lone tree without its roots-

Such was at Arsenal the doubt

To walk without those magic boots.

Then I met another girl who

Made Goodness seem to have mercy

And bestowed what for long was due,

Just as it came to van Persie.

But all along, there was my mom,

Beside, besides loving me more.

Yet I have never told her from

My heart how much I still love her.

It’s been long since I told her that

But she does not complain about.

I have taken her for granted,

As have Arsene during this drought.

As life goes on around my lover

And as I applaud van Persie,

I’ll write letters to my mother

And seek Arsene Wenger’s jersey.
