The Iceman

Here's my second poem

http://www.footballpoets.org/p.asp?Id=18440














Named in tribute to Denis law
Dennis Maria Bergkamp, he came he saw
Sublime Arsenal legend, folk hero
Through the high times and the low
Serving Ajax, Inter and the Gunners with distinction
Out of this world artistry, vision with precision
A class act, in the true sense of the word
Zola, Cantona, Henry, he puts them all to the sword
Never quite conquered a fear of flying
Aviophobia? Would you blame him now for not even trying
For a second let’s forget all the twaddle
And reflect on the protégé of Glen Hoddle
The Gunners own Chrissie Waddle?
Proving once and for all, his genius was not a doddle
The Dutch Master, Beavis, Bergy, Iceman screamed the Highbury banners
As the non flying Dutchman took them on a quest of honours
Goal of the month , one, two, three
Poor Nikos Dabizas and Leicester City
Recognition for gracing football so long
He modernised the Premiership and helped make it so strong
It’s a crime he won’t grace the Emirates
Cometh the hour, cometh the menace
Thanks for proving footballs not tennis
He’ll always be to the normal fan
The Dutch Master, Beavis, Bergy, Iceman
