I don’t know why the world has gone crazy
With everyone seemingly caught in a frenzy
The fever is really contagious
Few are spared of its ravages.
Productivity takes a nosedive
As workers stay up late to watch it live
Harrowing stories of suicide
Of people losing big betting on the wrong side.
Sex takes a back seat
As husbands suffer from a feverish heat
The night is filled with maniacal screams
As fans root for their teams.
Twenty two men fight over a solitary ball
When they themselves have forty four balls all in all
The world has really gone bonkers
Blame it on the World Cup Soccer.
