Saturday Evening Listening to the Results

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 All those winter evenings, Grandad listened
to BBC Radio as he went over Vernon’s Pools,
so many names to me as I played by the fire:
Leyton Orient, Brighton and Hove Albion,
and all the exotic Scottish names like Stranraer,
Stirling Albion, Partick Thistle, Airdrie United,
Heart of Midlothian. The embers in the grate
glowed red and pink and purple, a fantastic
enticing world of castles, sparks rising upward.
