After the game

We drag

Our feet

to rooms

of dreams

we hardly own.

 

The frenzy

The fever

Gone?

No!

 

Load shedding

Boycotts

Huge debts

Certainly remain

to turn our hair

grey,

haunting us

as we hope

the scrappy Umbrella

unfurls to partly shade us,

from decades

of searing

red heat.

 

 

Zebras continue

to gallop

and politely plead

for fair allowances.

 

Fans and patriots

pray for

more goals

and the lasting joy

of owning

over-priced Zebra-shirts

perhaps

blue, black and white nappies

for life!
