Come on You Hatters: John Hegley’s poem for Luton Town

Come On You Hatters

Come On You Hatters

Kicking up a fair commotion
with the winning of promotion
messages came fast and thickly
some said football now was sickly -
needing something fresh and healthy
less about the being wealthy;
now the heady heights would lighten -
Luton Town are playing Brighton
and the rest of this Division.
So we sort out our provision:
team and ground are at the ready
for the heights we might call heady,
not at all some titfer tatters -
heady is the place for Hatters.

Tip-top-flighting-fit.
And some of us thought
that winning the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy was it.
