I have been training hard.
I kick a ball against a wall three times a day.
That’s 9 kicks a day.
Sometimes two in a
row.
I run up and down the stairs
Until I’m sick.
I stole some traffic cones
And run around them
Until I fall over.
I dug out my England shirt
From 1984.
It pinches and rides up over my tummy.
I drink milkshakes to get me strong.
I paint white lines on my bedroom floor.
I kicked an apple over my fence.
I’m ready.
My mind is sharp.
I have sun tan lotion on my nose.
Now I’m sitting in the hall
Waiting for Roy to call.
