IMPORTANT: THIS IS A PSA
IF YOU'VE RECENTLY FOUND YOURSELF DOWN ON A MONDAY
LESS ENTHUSIASTIC THAN MANY OF YOUR BUSINESS COLLEAGUES
UNABLE TO FOCUS ON ANY CIRCULAR OBJECT WITHOUT WANTING TO THROW IT
TRYING MOTIVATION CHANTS BEFORE IMPORTANT MEETINGS
SPIKING ANY REPORTS DONE ON TIME TO AN ACCEPTABLE STANDARD
OR EVEN JUST RELISHING CRAMP FOR THE MEMORIES IT CONTAINS
THEN YOU,
ARE SUFFERING,
FROM,
POST TOURNAMENT BLUES...
The post tournament blues are the downfall of us all
Where most incidents renew your recall of a call
Since recent emotions have been so intense and too high
Your mind's location is green pitches and blue sky.
The speech replay of the captain trying to inspire you at half
The point of day where you were in pain 'til a team mate made you laugh
Your saviour, near enough flying in a bid to make up for your mistake
You savour this stuff near crying until you have to fake you're awake.
Snap back to reality, and ain't it cold?
You lack normality, though it should've taken hold
See, the moments where you are most real and alive
Paid atonement now in the struggle to feel and strive.
You miss your team. You miss your friends.
You want to scream and make it end
It's the price we pay, for bonds so tight
My advice today, to make it right.
Is to enjoy the tournament most, while you are there
To not annoy or taunt the host, to show you care
To play with spirit and heart, try not to be fake
Today give it your part, for all of our sake.
It may not make it any better the day after
Trying to fake along with the office laughter
Just know if you make your tournament and invest all you can do
Your team is doing what they do best, and sharing that feeling with you.
And with your team behind you, you can do damn near anything.
