I’m Liverpool me! <br /> <br />Cut me & I’ll bleed <br />Beatles & Liverpool. <br /> <br />Kop that! <br /> <br />So why are you <br />(of all things) <br /> <br />Man. U! <br /> <br />The hated other! <br /> <br />The one’s we love to hate. <br /> <br />Hate...with passion. <br /> <br />The Beatles our only <br />common ground. <br /> <br />“Football is...” <br />(as Bill Shankly put it) <br /> <br />“...not a matter of Life & Death! ” <br /> <br />“No...it’s more <br />important than that! ” <br /> <br />but each night <br />you let me score <br /> <br />& I let you <br />put one in. <br /> <br />our love <br />like an European Cup Final <br /> <br />that neither of us <br />can lose. <br /> <br />The score forever <br />6-6 <br /> <br />and everything <br />to play for <br /> <br />the coming <br />night. <br /> <br /> <br />This the only thing we <br />pool our resources <br /> <br /> <br />& in which we are <br />United.<br /><br />Dee Wright<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/our-rivalary/
