Ageism?
There has never been a goal keeper like me
I have studied how the big cats jump when
Catching gazelles, and do as them.
But what do you know? I cannot get a job,
Football managers smile, tell me to go home,
Won’t even let me demonstrate my method,
Too old, the say, me! At seventy three!
I have been sending film clips around to
International clubs of Rudolf, my cat, and I in
Action, they don’t even bother to write back
And thank me. I, who can win them gold and
Honours; they are hung up on ageism, bully for
Them, I’m going to China next, they attuned
To the athletic ability of us old men there
