Narcissism Football Club (NFC)

A new football team is on the block,
Called ‘Narcissism FC’
They’ve recruited a new captain,
Let's call him...'JT'.

The Powers-That-Be at 'Narcissism',
Wanted him straight away,
"He's perfect for our team", They said,
"And he can also play.

He's very good at what he does,
He shoots, he scores; he wins.
He can kick a ball, but most of all,
He represents our deadly sins.

There are seven sins, at NFC,
Each player must possess at least four,
They don't have to be bright,
Or read or write,
Just have qualities we all abhor”.

Number 1, Entitlement
Must consider oneself unique,
And fall in love with own reflection
Just like that daft young Greek...

Who rejected the desperate advances,
Of the nymph, Echo,
No chance that happening these days,
In fact, it’s the only way they know.

Without further ado, Number 2,
Also a very ugly trait,
JT needs a defender,
Let’s call this one....‘Cole-gate’.

Most unlike his namesake,
He’s neither fresh nor clean,
He (allegedly) enjoys a quite night in
Flashing pearly whites at his mobile screen.

So No 2, ‘Magical Thinking’
That they're above the law and press,
Get up to any old antics,
Yawn....always under duress.

No.3, ‘Bad Boundaries’
Of these they know no end,
Secret liaisons behind a loved ones back,
And also a best friend.

You get the gist on all other points,
4, 5, 6 and 7,
Let’s think about the girls you hurt,
They’ll all have a place in heaven.

You hide behind your centre half
Wagging her loyal tail
Pass feelings by, deny and lie,
Are you mouse or male?

Well, there’s a new breed of WAG about
These girls are 'Wise and Great'
Tremble and frisson to the second division
Girls - it’s time to relegate!
