queens of europe

Finally, the Euros

The prize

For the taking 

It’s ours!

Historically

The only cups

Concerning

Women

Related

To bras

But with

This victory

We’ve

Re-defined

The roles

We’ve been

Placed

In the past

New heights

Achieved

Stellar ambitions

In space

With the stars

Singing to

A new Toone

England

Is in full bloom

Raising

The standard

Since we were 

Babies in pampers

Many of us have

Had this dream

And if there’s

One thing to

Say to the fans

We’re

Grateful

For the support

And cheers

The hard work

Dedication

Through

All the years

Now the results

We’ve been 

Patient for

So long is here

The lionesses

Felines

And feminine

Claws are bared

Our roars

Are heard

Amongst

The nations

We’ve become

A cause for fear

Having no deep

Voice or beard

But with the ball

We’re brutal

Having good looks

But we’re more than

Beautiful

We won today

Cause we were

On form

Delivering

A polished

Performance

Quite like

The varnish

Some of us wear

On our cuticles

We were thought

Of in school

As so

Unteachable

Lost, delusional

But today

We’ve secured

Our ambitions 

And our goals

We’ve scored

In more ways

Than one

Thereby

Proving

Them wrong

As usual

Those who say

That football

For females

Is not a choice

That’s suitable

There’s

Girly things

We still enjoy

Make-up, shopping

Watching musicals

But this

Is a message

To the girls

Who’d trade a doll

For a ball

Even though now

You’re small

You may be

A toddler

A two year old

But believe 

In yourself, girl

Cause we can 

Be better than

The boys

I believe

We’re strong

And if we

Really want

We can do it all
