A special poetic tribute to George "Bestie" Best; Simply the Best

Little beggar boy,

You tinker's son,

You left us sorrow,

Brought us fun.

Your life, your smile,

Your happy hair,

You kicked a football,

Made us care.

At Man United,

You did us proud,

Scored many a goal,

Name sung aloud.

But then it all got a bit too much;

You missed your dear old mother's touch.

You binged yourself on the wine of life,

Embarassed yourself, slapped the wife.

You pissed your pants on white wine spritzers,

And tried to steal booze from local Bar mitzvahs (I imagine)
