There was a young man from Costa Rica,
who lost his heart to a streaker,
he took his eye off the ball,
which was a very bad call,
as he was their national keeper.

Have some free advice Roy

So on Thursday it's Uruguay,
the nation lets out a collective sigh,
Come on England we need to win,
or St George's flag will end up in the bin.

Lambert, Lallana and Shaw are our new saints,
put them in the team Roy and there'll be no complaints.
Return Rooney to centre forward - the right place,
then you'll have a team that won't disgrace.

Let the fans eat biscuit hat tricks,
to inspire Sturridge to score goals quick.
Coleen, Wag Queen, will arrive today,
her presence will raise Wayne's state of play.

Just six more games 'til we raise the cup,
winning smiles, champagne to sup,
C'mon three lions keep the vision alive,
defeat Uruguay, let hope survive.

Polo

This week’s biscuit comes from Jo.

Strangely, it’s called Polo.

Wrapped in green and white and gold,

colours of Ireland, young and old.

By Jacobs of Dublin they’re made

where Molly Malone plied her trade.

As hard as sham rock, dry as bone,

a chip off the old Blarney Stone.

Don’t be confused by the name.

A Polo mint is not the same.

This is not a shirt you can wear

or a frozen, Arctic bear.

It’s not named for a famous Venetian

traveller with his camel train.

Princes don’t play this on horseback

nor is it a small German hatchback.

Sadly, Polo lacks that sweet zest

of Ireland at its green and friendly best.

As one is enough, rather than Polo

perhaps this cookie’s title should be Solo.

Biscuit: Jacob's Solo

Taste test: 4 out of 10
Cost: A gift from Ireland - less than a euro.
