Ode to the Victors

I'd like to hate them,
but I find it hard,
when sweat gleams
so nicely on their
victorious cheeks, lit up
with the verdant light
of the vast green pitch
and offset by deep
lapis lazuli kit.

Look at their
lovely Italian faces!
Like Caravaggio
painted them.
Like Michelangelo
sculpted them!
No, I cannot hate them.

My only regret is this:
That Balotelli's not as
poor at taking penalties
as he is at putting on a
bib.
