Landon Donovan

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Landon Donovan
Landed at Everton
Landed from the Galaxy
“Land of Angelic Sun”

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Into the Mersey mist
Scored goals, made assists
Landon’s brand of candy
Blends with Toffees, who were blessed

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Folk singer Donovan’s
“Sunshine Superman”
The “mighty fine line”
Of skiffler Lonnie Donegan

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Boss, get back on the phone
Get Landon back on loan
He should never stalk alone
From his People’s Club home

Notes

The sound of a poem is as important as its meaning. “Landon Donovan – Michael Finnegan – Lonnie Donegan'” was going through my head, and this is how it came out.
