Being a supporter of..........

[ron]

You might have chanced down Harbord Street, at a loose end one weekend...
Or against your better judgement been dragged here by a friend.
Second or third generation?  then your forebears are to blame,
But no matter how we got here, we're all here just the same.
No need to keep tradition; there were easier paths to take
To Manchester, or down the road...but honour was at stake.
We could've picked a mega club (or a big 'un at any rate)..
But the club had already chosen us and we all found out too late.
But whatever luck..or fate..will chuck our comradeship still stems
From following that exasperating club down by the Thames.
