Marc O'Brien Poet Rhyme

Toffee Talk

Time to enjoy star with bucks’ coffee 
Along with Toffee
Knocked on the door 
Aston was not going to be ignored 
“I am a nice treat 
Very sweet”
A grand old lady welcomed him in 
Having a grin 
“Aston, where have you been?” 
Trying to be sly 
Not really telling any lie 
“Fighting to stay in the big time
Got caught up in a bind 
Relegation on my mind” 
An antique Everton fashion smile 
Opened up like it was on file 
“Sometimes down there 
No pressure in the air 
Attitudes will be joyous not bitter 
Fans will be happy during dinner” 
As the first half slipped away 
Nothing happened on this day 
Until late in the match 
Aston opened the hatch 
A goal was there no strings attached 
Showing he knew how to play 
In the top notch superior way 
Putting one on the board 
Three points the Claret and Blue army would get for the award 
But that was not going to happen 
Granny Goodison decided to zap him 
Right before the ninety minutes 
Aston not going to get into it 
“You are only going home with one 
Fantasy trip almost done 
I gave you my candy 
Run home little Aston quick and dandy” 
Feeling like he was tricked 
Aston sat in his villa knowing he was licked 
“I guess I am going down 
To the lower league town 
I will return 
From this year’s burn 
Stronger and firm 
From what I learn 
When enjoying a win 
Competing to be an English Football Champion”
