David Moyes
“Who do you support?”
Always one of the first four questions
Asked as I slide behind a new desk.
“Oh, no one really,” I say,
“I just keep an eye on the game.”
Not true; but easier than,
“I follow individuals -
Mourinho, Beckham, Poborsky –
And chase narratives like
Escaped balloons.”
That clutching of men,
It’s usually men,
To interact somehow.
“Everton,”
Would be a good choice.
The Caledonian Raisin seems likeable,
And they are not powerful enough
For anyone to fear.
Beware though, the Liverpool fan,
Or twice a year you will be pilloried
By someone who pretends to actually care.
It’s a risk.
