Los Angeles Galaxy is his newly chosen club,
For their offer was, it seems to be, far too good to snub,
But he claims he didn’t just do it only for the dosh,
That’s what he’s said so frequently, to us and Posh.

So he’ll be slowly winding down now in his last few seasons,
Quoting a-hundred-and-twenty-eight million valid reasons,
When asked what had been the one final crux,
He exclaimed, “Nothing at all to do with all the mega-bucks!”

But hasn’t the world of football gone completely crackers?
For just the one week’s ‘work,’ half-a-million smackers?
But Posh and Becks do feel that their future’s really sunny,
Of course, it’s nothing whatsoever to do with all the money.

For a man whose career’s surely now on the wane,
Such payments are, in my view, totally insane,
Nevertheless, my dear friends, I still raise my glass,
For not a single thought was given to the loads of brass.

Victoria’s collection of lovely frocks and frilly ‘ns,
Will be greatly boosted now by her hubby, David’s millions,
And she said she’s so ecstatic for her favourite bunny,
But, honest! It’s nothing at all to do with the money.

It is felt it will improve the American game,
And then rocket Becks to even greater fame,
Endearing him, in time, to that huge, great nation,
But it’s nothing to do with remuneration.

Some folk think that Becks, with all his lolly, could,
Eventually make his name over in Hollywood,
But the former England captain wants to make it plain,
His move has nothing to do with the financial gain.

For Beckham there’s a mountain that must be scaled,
One that other great players have previously tried and failed,
But if anyone can do it, then that man is Becks,
And there’s no connexion with the monthly cheques.

Having turned down England’s best, was Beckham off his rocker?
To prefer the L.A. Galaxy and their American soccer,
No! It’s something every Englishman, in truth, applauds,
For not a thought was given to the vast rewards.

Fast-forward some few years and could we see the soccer loonies,
Entice another ‘idol’ with a billion Smacker-Rooneys?
If so then I am sure we’ll hear the usual balderdash,
“I did it just for soccer. I had no interest in the cash!”

Back to Becks and I foresee some massive dressing room friction,
If and when it happens recall the Boro Bard’s prediction,
If Beck’s should fail, like Pele, a truly great Brazilian,
He can collect his silly money and utter quietly, “Thanks a billion!”
