‘Bond’s’ Poetic Assessment of Team Cameroon!

In the summer they may score in tons,
But on project they're victims of puns:
Thom, Liam and Dave,
While stoic and brave,
Scored only Yaoundean runs
 
Coaching kids gives us all much elation
Sitting still leads to grumpy deflation
Victor's passion for meetings
Hobnobbing and greetings
Reduced us to fretting frustration
 
But last Thursday he pulled off a coup
Olympic president and Sporting who's who
A great invitation
From a big man in the nation
Will the next project be called Malboum?
 
62, Jonno thought, that's a rout
But head coach decreed a shoot out
This contentious decision
Should've led to derision:
Jonno, gob-smacked, just said nowt
 
The beard was removed, cos it caused irritation,
The scalp is a glowing sun-bronzed creation
But Thom's particular charms
Are the hairs on his arms
Kids stroke them for gratification
 
Jules loves CWB expeditions
And her dancing attracts propositions
But her coolness was blown
When Bond asked for a loan
With suggestive repayment conditions
 
As our globe-trotting youngest selection
Liam gives us an energy injection
And his body so slender
(But of uncertain gender)
Makes the kids think he's in One Direction
 
Project leader's been strong from the start
Made sure that we all played our part
But with Liam on pedalo
And bowling balls through the window
Just proves he's a big kid at heart
 
After he croaked in interview in his role
He swung for his health from the goal
And he has no choice, cos he loses his voice,
Praising kids loud is deep in his soul
