Messi

An Ode to The Greatest

YouTube

A poem, about the greatest player to ever touch a football.

Have you seen a player with such skill?
Divine movements,
Dripping waves of technique.

Small,
But definitely mighty.
Quick,
And certainly deadly.

The King of turns,
The King of twists.
When he’s with the ball,
It never leaves his feet.

Goals that defy all logic.
Unique.
Mesmerising,
A genius at his very peak.

A different player,
A different being.
A player of his ilk,
Has never been seen.

With every touch,
The fans sing.

He plays on the greatest of teams.
His name is Lionel Andrés Cuccittini
