Nelson Mandela’s ninetieth birthday
Frank Lampard’s going to AC Milan
The pollen count is high, watch out for hay
Seeds falling down and out at Wimbledon
The school barbecue, burger-eating fun
A glass of wine or two, the rain eased off
And afterwards at home, some dancing done
Watched the Mandela concert - he looked rough
He shuffled on and off stage, aged, gruff
But everybody cheered him anyway
Perhaps they naively assume one man
Can really change the world, though not enough
In fact, apartheid had just had its day
But well done Nelson, applause for the man
