I was in Naples recently

To see Napoli win the Serie A title

Like many I wore a Napoli football shirt

I was accompanied by Linda

Who was the wife of a good friend

She had been born in Naples

But now lived in London

When I met her in the city

She was wearing a white top

God’s Favourite

Was written in black

On the front of her shirt

It was rather striking

And received a number of comments

In the early hours

We went back to our hotels

I slept with my Napoli shirt

Under my pillow

And enjoyed happy dreams

The following morning

The still hung over Linda

Went running wearing her white top

And was hit by a moped

Only yards from her hotel

Thankfully she was unhurt

Apart from some grazes

But her top was ruined

So she binned it at the hotel

I purchased a Napoli shirt for her

Which she wore on the journey

Back to England the following day
