FIREBALL EXCEL THRIVE
( For Alan Ball )
Red headed
exocet
Dynamo, engine
Tightly wound spring
Ball of fire
Cocked
pistol, trigger happy
Fully charged battery
Ever ready energy
Real live wire.
Tenacious
in the tackle
A whirlwind on the pitch
Tireless and tiger –like
No holding back
I always
wanted football boots
Just like yours,
White for distinction
Not for surrender.
Never say
die
No cause ever lost
Always on the ball
Alan, aptly named.
