three goals down
we complain
of the cold
remaining calm
amidst the raging rapids
Pendlebury
tight game
the last quarter begins
for the moon also
another year older
I brace myself
for a crushing defeat
Daicos swoops
the rest we know
by heart
from every seat
in the stadium
the winning goal
whisky moon
I let this victory
sink in
