Don't Get me Started

Don’t get me started on football

A sport knee-deep in cliche

But for players and owners

No good comes of this game

Don’t get me started on football

Don’t get me started on cricket

Lords won’t sell me a ticket

Panamas, mid-offs and maidens

Finance on a sticky wicket

Don’t get me started on cricket

Don’t get me started on Cheltenham

A throwback to “gentlemen”

and “lads”

Celtic tigers turned to kittens

As ever, a high count of cads

Don’t get me started on Cheltenham

Don’t get me started on MPs

Surprise is, anyone’s surprised:

So many of them try to squeeze -

truth for a private wheeze.

Don’t get me started on MPs
