My Soccer Ball

It sits in my room ready to be picked,
Preparing for the goal that has just been kicked.

My favourite team Manchester printed too,
Looking as if it was brand new.

Its stitching reminds me of my first soccer game,
With little bits of dirt piling up in the frame.

It smells like sweet victory on the green, grassy field,
Playing until the winner is revealed.

When full-time comes round, both teams are celebrating,
So tired they're almost fainting.

Because this is the game of soccer,
And it sure is a shocker!
