By Brian Crasney, St Alban's Court, Blackburn.

In a few years' time
One of David Beckham's sons will say
When I am a big lad, I want to be a great footballer
And be just like my dad'

It would be wonderful coming from David
It would be really nice,
If he could add to his sons' football skills
A bit of that old spice.
He will say to his dad You wore number seven,
When you were captain of England's 11.
What number should I wear dad
The day that I turn pro?'
His dad will tell him listen son
Wear four out there Romeo'.
