Just limbering up for the inevitable . . .

At football's Brazilian spectacular
(Or 'soccer' in U.S vernacular)
A star showed control
When scoring a goal
But, if thwarted, a touch of the Dracula.

[Ann Drysdale]

One would have wished that they had acted older
than playground grizzling like a gang of girlies.
One whinges that a bad boy bit his shoulder,
the other that the shoulder hurt his pearlies.

Neither fallen Italian nor fanged Uruguayan
Will now reach the top of Seth Blather's Mt. Zion

[Martin Parker]

You'll not find much to tempt you when you
read a Uruguayan menu.
This could explain why one rapscallion
preferred a takeaway Italian.
