1826 - A rare British win

A humdrum day I suppose, feel a bit
Low on energy and inspiration
So I watched the athletics, saw a Brit
Win the 5,000 metres - what a run,
Mo Farah! Let's hope what he has just done
He can do in next year's Olympics which
(I expect you know) will be in London
Expectation's rising to fever pitch
For that, and less so for England's too-rich
Football team. Yes, it showed some fine spirit
In beating the hapless Bulgarians
But when the finals arrive, will it switch
As usual, to spiritless, gutless shit?
It's better to laugh at than support them
