The Footy Man

He wears his club scarf and beanie this cold saturday evening in the late Fall As he walks from the train to the football oval for to watch a few hours of football One might say a one eyed supporter he urges his footy heroes on But he falls silent before the final siren when all hope of a victory seems gone. In the work canteen on monday morning his workmates at him will have a go And tease him of how his team lost on the weekend that they were too clumsy and slow For much livelier and classier opponents though such banter he does not take to heart One must take the good with the bad days of living and life it's all part His passion in life is his Football Club a sports minded fellow is Stan His favourite song is his Club anthem his nickname is the Footy Man He always wears his club scarf and beanie and he looks forward to next weekend's game And when his team loses by a narrow margin the umpires he always will blame. He is happy when his team is winning the smile of joy is on his face But on the monday after a loss he must put up with his workmates teasing him in the Workplace But that is all part of life and living we win and we lose every day But to next weekend he looks forward to when again he will watch his team play.
