My Scarf

The almighty roar of the crowd
The screaming of the players
The churning of the grass
The depressing score line
The laughter of the Portuguese
The silence of the English
5-0
My scarf represents Porto
The picturesque riverside
Tuk tuks racing around
Narrow streets, winding
Meandering down to the heart of a city
The river - the port houses
The clink and clang of glasses

My scarf
Blue and white stripes
Woven in Portugal
Weft of memories of Porto
