5544 - Sutton Warmfield

I was born up in Sutton Coldfield 
Near Birmingham, but today we were down 
In Sutton, Surrey, at the football field 
And it was warm the whole time in that ground 
Great for the end of October, a sound
Use of the day with Louis. Full breakfast 
In Leytonstone, then long train journey round
East London, Waterloo, Wimbledon, rest
On the platform bench waiting for the next 
Train to West Sutton, where the ground revealed 
Itself between hedges. In the shop, found
A nice bath towel with the Sutton crest
Shame I can’t sunbathe on it, it’s too cold
For that, now that we are late autumn bound
