Football fever has flown away  Football fever has flown away And the summer sun's come out, Wives are more cheerful now And kids as always, a gleeful lot. Happy days are here again And the barman is happy too, No hooligans and no brawls Mirth is back in its form true. Weekend days seem much nicer Brightly dry, quite a lot warmer - Evening breeze cooling tempers Cola and ales make life calmer. The pub's full of pretty young girls Clad in a minimal summer attire, Clamouring for their eyes' attention Boys seem to be invigorated by fire. The days are surely more enjoyable With sunny skies clear in deep blue hue, Butterflies and birds fly merrily around As football fever's flown away like the flu. ~ [This message has been edited by Sudhir Iyer (edited 08-10-2000).] |

Hey there Sudhir Great fun poem  The title drew me in as it's the finals series of our aussie rules football and me having been born and bread in the heart of the aussie rules football nation I love my aussie rules and my team has made it to the final rounds ending the season second on the ladder. GO BLUES!!!!  Tracie Love is the life of the soul... It is the harmony of the universe |

Sudhir, I've been watching the Buffalo Bills at training camp, just getting ready to start their season...Go Bills!!!(ducking here to avoid getting hit with rotten tomatoes)  And I am sure when the last game has been played, the thoughts you have written here will be felt all around. This is wonderful. Bonnie |
