Day Two

Poor Theo

Poor Theo
your life's peaked far too young
like Samantha Mumba
and Ultimate Kaos.

I hope you don't turn out
to be like Screech from Saved by the Bell
unable to get on with your life
because people don't stop asking questions about Zac Morris
and Mr Belding.

What was it like to go to the World Cup when you were 17?
they'll ask
when you're in your forties
and constantly reminded of what could have been.

Life must be hard if you peaked in your teens
like Hanson and Li'l Chris
and Macauley Culkin
and when you heard you'd been left out of the squad
you must have been like Kevin McAllister
lost in New York

and I hope this isn't it
that you'll be back better than ever
and you'll have no regrets when you retire
but at the moment it seems
it's all gone a bit Sean Maguire.
