Mostly light hearted but often with a serious message.
Can’t emphasise enough … today’s word is emphatically.
Today’s word of the day is EMPHATICALLY

So now we are playing extra time
Anything can happen
We’re all on edge.
Charlton comes close
And hits the post.
And then the goal
We still remember
The one the Germans
Can’t forget.
Hurst’s shot comes down
Off the bar
It strikes the ground
But the question is
Where ?!!
Did the ball
Ever cross the line?
Every Englishman’s sure
Every German says no
Will we ever really know?
The referee he wasn’t sure
But the Russian linesman
He said yes!
And to German grief
The goal was awarded.
The debate goes on
It has never ended
They’re still debating
That goal today.
You couldn’t move
For seeing pictures
Seen from all angles
To try and show
It didn’t go over and wasn’t
A goal.
But who can dispute
What the history books say?
3-2 to the English
With time to play.
So mounting hysteria
English joy
But let’s move on
To the final act.
Your attitude’s obtuse
Insensitive, unfeeling
I can’t take this abuse.
Complaining is no use
There’s no point me appealing
Your attitude’s obtuse.
I really must cut loose
Your answer’s quite revealing
I can’t take this abuse.
You finally cooked your goose
Blew up and hit the ceiling
Your attitude’s obtuse.
It’s just pretence a ruse
You don’t get how I’m feeling
I can’t take this abuse.
You’re ignorant, unfeeling
Frankly unappealing.
Your attitude’s obtuse
I can’t take this abuse.

2-2 all equal
So what that means now
Is 30 more minutes
Left to go.
Who will be champions?
Soon we’ll know.
The Germans were flopped out
All on the ground
But Alf insisted our lads
Should stand.
Pointing at the German team,
“They’re finished”, he said,
“Flat on their backs”.
And then he said,
the immortal words
You’ve won it once ,
Go out there now
And win it again.
Some of you know
What happened next!
There’s a plethora of options
So many I could choose
Choose one for adoption
What have I got to lose?
So many I could choose
Who knows which one is best?
What have I got to lose?
Just choose one ditch the rest.
Who knows which one is best?
Who can know the answer?
Just choose one ditch the rest.
It won’t be a disaster.
Who can know the answer?
A plethora of options
It won’t be a disaster
Choose one for adoption.

The man was notorious of ill repute.
His conduct scandalous critics proclaimed.
That he got things wrong was beyond dispute
But, all things said could he really be blamed?
His conduct was scandalous critics proclaimed
He’d done things he shouldn’t we have to accept
But, all things said could he really be blamed
For all his success he had many regrets.
He’d done things he shouldn’t we have to accept.
The weight of his past would too often poke through
For all his success he had many regrets
They help to explain the things he would do.
The weight of his past would too often poke through
This man so notorious of such ill repute
Condemned for the things that he used to do
Had talents and gifts that none could dispute.
Word of the Day Challenge – Notorious
It’s strange the things
The mind recalls
Of Ugo Splaine
Not much at all.
He’d a Yorkshire dad
And a German mum
And hair grips in
wavey blonde hair.
I’m not sure how his mother felt
Amidst our exuberant excitement.
For thirty two minutes
There were no more goals
Then Alan Ball’s pass
Hurst’s shot deflected
Peters is there
And gets the score.
We all leaped up
The men all roared
I broke a cup
But no one cared.
Clap, clap
Clap, clap, clap
Clap, clap, clap, clap
England!
Thirteen minutes
We’d need to hang on.
How could they breach
Our famous defence?
Emmerich’s kick
Comes off George Cohen.
It falls to Held
He shoots across goal
It deflects off Schneider
Sends Banks the wrong way.
Weber is there to equalise.
We couldn’t believe it
We thought we’d won.
World Cup victory
Snatched from our grasp.
The game’s forced in
To extra time.
If you can’t be a good example, be a terrible warning… today’s word Notorious.
Today’s word of the day is NOTORIOUS
