524 - You bet (and you lose)

Oh shit - I’ve just lost fifty quid betting
United would beat City. None of it:
Despite today’s theme of not forgetting
The Munich air crash back in ’58,
United were punished, turning up late,
And scoring at the end to lose 2-1.
Please, Chelsea, beat Liverpool; don’t create
Further financial losses later on!
I’ve put twenty down on the Blues, who’ve won
Most of this season’s games one-nil. Wasting
This valuable Sunday alone. I hate
Such wasted time, more than the wasted sun.
But what can I write when I’m not sleeping
At night? Only my diary sonnet.
