In response to the previous article I would like to share with you a little bit of poetry that I came up with the last time this subject was discussed. I think some of you may have read it before but for anybody new to the site I hope you enjoy –
Keep Everton out of “our” City
The 2nd best team in Liverpool,
are looking for a brand new pad.
They even want to share with us,
they must think we are mad.
Imagine “our friend” the ginger whinger,
walking uninvited thru Shankly’s Gates.
Bill said he wouldn’t watch them in his garden,
so why join with the team he hates.
So where shall we send them?
Our Toffee munching friends.
Yes, the best place for them, Kirkby
where the city’s boundary ends.
So what will be at this stadium?
I hear it’s a Tesco Store,
Well they do say “every little helps”
especially when you can’t bloody score.
So farewell to good old Goodison,
I am sure you will be missed.
But the day you play at Kirkby,
We’re in the city getting pissed.
They tried to make me share a ground but I said ‘no, no, no’
Yes I’ve been down but when I cheer up you’ll know know know
We need our own grounds but Kenny and Kenright think it’s fine
They tried to make me share a ground but I won’t go go go
I’d rather be at home with Andy Grey
I ain’t got time for shared stadia
Cause there’s nothing worse
There’s nothing you can teach me
That I can’t learn from Mr Hicks or George Gillett
We didn’t get a lot last term
But I know it wont come with Woy
They tried to make me share a ground but I said ‘no, no, no’
Yes I’ve been down but when I cheer up you’ll know know know
We need our own grounds but Kenny and Kenright think it’s fine
They tried to make me share a ground but I won’t go go go
The man said ‘why do you think we’re here
I said ‘I got no idea
All you’ve done is rip us off
And I always keep a bottle near’
He said ‘I just think your depressed,
I said what d’you expect you Yankee pest
They tried to make me share a ground but I said ‘no, no, no’
Yes I’ve been down but when I cheer up you’ll know know know
We need our own grounds but Kenny and Kenright think it’s fine
They tried to make me share a ground but I won’t go go go
I don’t ever wanna think again
We just ooh We just need a friend
We’re not gonna spend many weeks
We need John Henry to help us mend
It’s not just our pride
It’s just ’til our tears have dried
They tried to make me share a ground but I said ‘no, no, no’
Yes I’ve been down but when I cheer up you’ll know know know
We need our own grounds but Kenny and Kenright think it’s fine
They tried to make me share a ground but I won’t go go go
Classic!
