Thoughts escaping

We arrived at Wigan railway station
the day before
the big football match
my friends with their sleeping bags
ready to head to the house share

I said 'Hey, we should look out
for the plaque' (baffled stares,
please don't make me sing it)

I'm sittin' in the railway station...

We saw no plaque.

I was roundly mocked, lampooned
and generally disrespected

But the joke is on you
because for one I know Paul Simon
really wrote Homeward Bound at
Widnes railway station
(where there is a plaque)

And for two there was
no football match, and for
three, I have no friends
