The History Game
Next the famous flowing river, Old Father Thames,
Stand edifices, evidence of everlasting, heritage.
Naval college, now museum, environmentally protected,
But no campaign can prevent its eventual downfall.
Floating to and fro, next Greenwich pier,
In the lapping tide, lies putrid, polluting, plastic.
Bobbing, lost and probably missed,
Float, not one, nor two, nor three, but four footballs.
One of real leather, three of plastic.
Evidence of this century.
No need to protect their existence.
They will remain evidence
Of the beautiful game,
For ever.
