Flippin' Men Decoupage Verses - Fishing and Football

Fishing
You sit upon the riverbank
All through the day and night
Just hoping that some big fish
Is gonna' take a bite
With your rod held in your hand
And your waders round your thighs
You'll lie to all your friends
When you tell about the size
Of the one that got away
While you had it on the hook
You learnt all your fishing jargon
From JR Hartley's book!
That trout you caught for dinner
Will make a tasty dish
But...did you catch it down the market
From the bloke who sells the fish?

Football
The ref has blown the whistle
And the match is at an end
But we're still wondering fella
Which side did you defend?
You played more bloomin' fouls
Than in Mathews' factory
Did you have to punch that striker
To create that penalty?
Your tackles were a nightmare
You never got the ball
But perhaps your forward passes
Were really worst of all
In future when your team
Is booked to play a match
You'd be better in the stands mate
To cheer them on and watch!
