The House of Elliott

The top deck.
The chariot of the 127
to Dewsbury.
Rain scores the windows,
to reveal a view of Ingfield.
A raging red fort
that simmers, waits
for new battles.
Oh Ossett Town!
Bring your mighty heart
to this house of Elliott.
Let us
cheer goals,
tackles,
saves.
Clutch
sausage rolls
and tea
in the seething
rain.
Let us
send love to
the Juniors,
the turnstile lads,
the programme seller,
the floodlights.
Let us
be the victors
against
Ramsbottom,
Padiham,
Clitheroe,
and
Albion.
For this is our season.
Our team.
Our town.
Perchance to dream.
