THIS OLD BENCH
I’m sitting on the old park
bench
Watching the international
buckshee
There’s a game for free here
every night
Tonight it’s Somaliland
v Turkey
It’s a big score and it’s not
quite half time
Bored I start to read the bench graffiti
Jack Spratt loves Jill June Nineteen Sixty Nine
Fred 4 Freda punctuate it how
you will
A mile up the road at Gold
Trafford
Uni-ted are playing Bayern
Munich
Want to go to the pub? Asks my
neighbour
No thanks, I wouldn't cross the
street to watch them
This old bench has seen a lot of
action…
Clocked enough, going for a Ruby

Of course, that old bench actually used to be in the park... a park... back in the day...
ReplyDeleteNice one Andy!
Thanks Stan, the old bench is actually in Whitworth Park and there were at least three 'internationals' being played there last night.
DeleteJust thought... sat on the bench there, Moyes'll probably bring you on at half time...! Got yer boots...? :)
ReplyDeleteI've got my boots, but I draw the line at wearing a red shirt.
