THERE’S ALWAYS A DAY
(Written to mark the trip to Elgin, and a wee tribute to Jim Weir)
there’s always someone to buy a beer
for you
to reminisce of
Legends,
there’s always someone to listen
to your story of
the time when - aye, mind when?
there’s always someone to spoil the
the taste
to know a better story,
there’s always a queue of folk with
degrees in one-upmanship
and there are always those
like Jim Weir smiling above them
and saying in a legend sort of way
‘Thanks but I’m no’ dead yet,
there’s still juice in the tank.’
only legends, can accept and reject
the praise, still be worthy, still
make you feel good, whilst wearing
another teams colours
there’s always a day when you’re close
to a Legend, and maybe not know it
but on Saturday, at Elgin you’ll know
just don’t get too close, he’ll bite
your arse, when the ref’s no’ lookin’
aye, mind when? there’s always
someone to buy a beer for,
to reminisce for
