Who you got?

A little tribute to all who have organised World Cup sweepstakes

WHO YOU GOT?

So all the teams are in that hat? You’re not first pick I’ll tell you that.

How many teams? What?! Forty-eight?! Just pick one, it’s getting late.

I want to pick a team that’s good. May I just check you’ve understood?

Has someone come and nabbed Brazil? No those boys are in there still.

Who got England? I love Harry Kane. Please tell me it’s not Lorraine,

Is England this one here I wonder? Look, none of us are getting younger.

Here goes, I’m picking, hang on, whaaat?! I’ll need to write down who you’ve got.

Uzbekistan? I mean, what the fu…Ah that’s a shame, what rotten luck.

Can I have another go? They might play well, you never know.

Uzbekistan! I’m gutted? How? Well poor old Dave got Curacao

I wish I was still ‘work from home’. I’ve done remote picks on the phone,

The boss has asked me for a word, he’s sulking ‘cos he got Cape Verde.

And Italy really aren’t in it? Yes, wouldn’t bet on them to win it.

Show me who’s down on that sheet? I promised that I’d be discreet.

This isn’t FAIR, I wanted France. They have gone to finance Lance.

Mina’s pulled out Argentina?! She’s buzzin’ yeah, you should have seen her.

I don’t believe it, how’s Hermione, ended up with bloody Germany,

You know I’m not one to complain, but I want Portugal or Spain!

Some of you lot really hate me, including roughly half of I.T,

Know the new girl there named Katie? Says I stitched her up with Haiti.

Sweepstakes are a thankless task, for months I need to wear a mask,

If all the money ain’t collected, I’m the one who gets suspected,

And I don’t get to make a pick, if so I would get loads more stick,

World Cups always put me through it…NEXT TIME SOMEONE ELSE CAN DO IT!
