Liam ó Comáin - SOCCER

A favourite
with the masses
involving skill
and team work

The safety valve
of emotional
pressure in
need of release

Religiously
following
a weekly pattern
of methodical
action with
a consort
of curses
grunts and roars

The latter
reminiscent
of rome's
bloodstained
arenas

Yet a sport
to be cherished
in an age crying
out for play

Liam ó Comáin
