Am I an Anorak?

My girlfriend’s Lara Croft

(She’s more real than the girls I know)

And my pet’s a spiky hedgehog

Who’s blue from head to toe.

You may think that I’m obsessive

But even I am not that bad,

For there’s a new religion,

That’s possessed all sons and dads.

They meet upon the terraces

And chant their heroes’ names

They wear the colours of their kinsmen

And play their heroes’ game.

They memorise the dates and scores,

Of battles taken place.

They know the minute details,

And remember every face.

Their Goal is just a trophy,

A Memento of opponents slain

And In four years time what happens?

It starts all over again!

What is this strange cult

That I have just described?

The game? Well it’s FOOTBALL

The national Game that Thrives!

So am I so obsessive,

Are you justified in your attack?

Just ask yourself this question,

Who is the Anorak?
