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

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
