| Lionel Messi with the World Cup |
(A poetic tribute to the FIFA Football World Cup 2022)
In the middle east, thirty two nations battled it out,
for the prized glory of the pinnacle of the beautiful game.
A fine month of entertainment, it was without doubt,
and left us all gasping for more at this piece of fickle fame.
An unpredictable series it was, a euphoric dose of ecstasy,
as a few billion faithful prayed for their chosen deities.
The breaking of hearts, the beginning of life long fandoms - bereft of prophesy;-
all this followed in winter's fury, for the carnival is not everyone's cup of tea

| Kylian Mbappe with the Golden Shoe |
A few upsets were conjured by the inspired underdogs,
and with courage, the Atlas Lions roared.
A bundle of emotions packed in smiles and sobs,
and into the pages of history, a few soared.
The Croatians got the Bronze, a mix of experience and youth.
But the befitting final - Ah, what a game!
Les Blues marched on Mbappe's heroics, swift and smooth,
But on victory, Argentina made an ambitious claim.
and with bitter and sweet memories made gleefully,
We await 2026, but for now, we toast
to the man from Rosario, the one who did not miss his messy date with destiny!
