ARSENAL FAN

Once beaten,

Twice shy.

The child a snake has ever bitten,

Fears when a worm says, Hi!

Wishing it never passed by,

Lifting his feet this time high.

Once a gunner,

Twice a loser.

Only the fool's ball is trodden twice,

African proverbs prove not otherwise.

Always a fan,

When it's time for support.

But failure to run,

When walking limits your effort,

Only makes your strides pun.

Yet true heroes,

Don't bow to zeroes.

They conquer with rubber bullets,

Even though perceived harmless.

The heart baked in fire,

Tells the mind not to retire.

The one who doesn't give up,

Would always help you get up.

If nothing is achieved at all,

The F.A cup is a boost after all.

With a malleable unbroken heart,

Each season is often a new start.

If need be for anything perpetual

Should you need a partner eternal

In times of climatic hot weather

I suggest nothing better

Than a simple ceiling fan.

If patience is a marriage virtue

Then what I would always pursue

Is to marry an arsenal fan.
