“Oddset Pokal”

Dulwich Poet

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 It’s a lovely Bank Holiday Monday
And it’s Hamburg Cup Final day
But which side will I be supporting
Do you really want me to say?
Truth is I don’t like either side
Last years semi still hurts from afar
Cheating gits from Condor
That penalty shoot-out still leaves a scar.
But one thing is certain
For Barmbek Uhlenhorst I won’t be rooting
There’s absolutely no way
I can cheer for Altona’s version of T*****g!
So Condor’s the lesser of two evils
Though I don’t expect them to win
I’ll just suffer those right-wing Barmbek tossers
Which will really get under my skin.
I’m going to take my comfort
From dreaming about next year
Waiting for Altona to make the final
Giving everyone something to cheer.
My first love will always be Dulwich Hamlet
For who I’d be prepared to die
But I’d like to think if there’s reincarnation
When I come back it’s Altona I’ll try.

Notes

(I was in Hamburg with Dulwich Hamlet supporters in May…to visit our friends from Altona 93. While there I went to the Hamburg Cup Final between SC Condor & Barmbek Uhlenhorst. Oddset Pokal is the name of the Hamburg Cup))
