I Could Have Been Lynched

NB.  This is a true story that happened many years ago.  Not to be repeated, no doubt.  But at that time I was (still am up to a point) crazy about European soccer and I wanted to see a Scottish game of Rangers vs Celtic.  Rangers wore blue, Celtic green.  The envy and rivalry were tremendous., but I had to go. The problem was I did not know which entry I had to choose.  As usual, I chose the wrong one.   Afterwards, my friend and I ran for safety.

We went to the football match, I dressed in green,
Everyone laughed, thought I was a poor bean.
I was with a crowd all dressed in blue,
Good grief, I was in some very hot stew.
I stood my ground; Green won. Hooray as I kissed my Celine.
