It is budget

The budget is no small presentation
It is watched with much expectation
An opportunity to leave your stamp
And to make the whole world dance

The touch and pass is gentle
It engages as long as it lasts
But all dribble is nothing but drab
The game is nothing without big hits and shots

A few early steps of marathon may be watched
But they don't make any real difference
However the sprinters show their class
From the first step and at the very start

When you try to please all
By taking tiny steps across
Despite hardly any opposition that stalls
You miss a great opportunity to awe

We had high hopes on you, Mr. Captain
But you seemed to play wide and small
The whole field was yours to show your skills
But you appeared to be content to dribble and pass

The opportunity that was there, you missed
The wait for next year is strenously long
A lot of water may flow in between
Just pragmatism sans boldness makes not stars!
