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!
