On the road again....

poem by: Frank Hornby .
Written on Jan 05, 2023

"What are you lot doing here?..."go on, fuck off scouse!"...
"Get back to your Liverpool slums!..."Get back to your bombed out house!"...
We were on our way to Filbert street...just another football away day...
to somewhere in Leicester....to watch the Mighty blues play...
Hitchhiking across the country...to another football town..
We still had a few more miles to go...but it never got us down...
Now I was face to face with this dickhead...so down he had to go!...
Heart thumpin' with the sound of fear...but I couldn't let it show...
With that little episode dealt with...swiftly we had to move on..
...once again start thumbin' for another lift...yeah it was time that we were gone."
