Gary W. Hartley - Sanctions of the FIFA Ethical Committee

Well Versed is edited by Jody Porter

Sanctions of the FIFA Ethical Committee
Gary W. Hartley

The World Cup
Has been stripped from Qatar

Offered to
The Seventh Circle of Hell

That will surely teach them
For complaining about the weather

There are four mascots
All horsemen

Merchandised like ponies
For the children

All the stadium builders
Are already dead

The other one
Has been stripped from Russia

Offered to R’lyeh
Gothic nightmare corpse city

Infrastructure far from conventional
Yet more than playable

Penniless H.P. Lovecraft
Called from grave

Monitoring corporate sponsors
Assuring branding is to liking

Some hack at the back
Sings Three Lions, nasally   

Gary is a comic poet from Leeds. His 2014 creation Yeti was ranked in the top 5 Free Fringe spoken word shows at the Edinburgh Festival, and acclaimed by BBC Radio 2. Twitter: @garyfromleeds
