Christopher Flaherty Poet Free verse

Merseyside Derby

The

Merseyside derby 

The Red Peril

For every Blue

Even Bluer after 90 minute's 

The tortured fan's faces grimace 

Children cry on the long road home

This is not the 1st and it won't be our last 

But we are born Everton Blue

It's in our D.N.A

Tomorrow is another Day

To face Red Enemy Fire

Thank the Lord for Beer
