An awful dream

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 I dreamed last night Lee Bowyer scored
Against a team I once adored.
The setting was 2008
And in the Premiership, Newcastle weren’t doing great.
Lee Bowyer was playing for Manchester City,
And Newcastle were getting increasingly shitty.
Bowyer was racing down the wing,
The City fans were starting to sing
Everything was going terribly wrong,
When suddenly I started to sing along!
The next bit I’ll never forget –
The ball ended up in the back of the net!
I still try to make as much sense as I can
As to why I became a Man City fan.
What was wrong with Newcastle United
And why the hell was I so delighted
When Man City scored against my team?
Oh well, thank God it was only a dream!

Notes

I dreamed this a few nights ago – and woke up in a cold sweat and almost screamed the house down! I’ve nothing against Man City, but the thought of supporting any team other than my beloved Toon is just unbearable! And God knows why Lee Bowyer came into it…
