Swirling summer mist rising from a lake as golden shafts of morning sunlight herald the day ahead. A skein of geese moving along a Norwegian fijord, reflected in still waters. A newly born baby clearing his/her lungs in the delivery room ready for the lifetime ahead. Other lips tenderly kissing your lips. The Taj Mahal - alabaster and other worldy in a shimmering tropical heat haze. Stars twinkling in a velvet black sky... Beauty. Beauty...
But what could possibly be more beautiful than this:-
My team at the top of the English Championship table having acquired thirty four points from sixteen games. And I was there on Saturday to watch our lads take Middlesbrough to the cleaners with a stunning 3-0 victory. Tom Huddlestone's late strike was a work of art as the leather sphere arched into the net past the flailing hands of Dimitrios Konstantopoulos - Boro's desperate keeper. And in joyful unison we sang to the tune of "Sloop John B":-
"WE'RE TOP OF THE LEAGUE! WE'RE TOP OF THE LEAGUE! WE ARE HULL CITY! WE'RE TOP OF THE LEAGUE!"
Sing along everybody! Come on my beauties!

Ha!!! That made me laugh. The first paragraph was a great buildup to the rest of this post!

DeleteWhat more can I add, other than to say The Kingston Trio's "Sloop John B" was one of my late brother Graham's favourite song when we were both youngsters.
ReplyDeleteGraham had good taste. It is a tune that English football fans regularly employ in their chants.
DeleteAnother proof of the truth in the saying "Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder".
ReplyDeleteYour comment seems diplomatic It would be nice to see you modelling a Hull City kit Meike!
