WAKEFIELD Trinity's fanzine, Wally Lewis Is Coming, has a Poetry Corner. Among other gems, it offers this version of 'Away Melancholy' by Stevie Smith:

Away melancholy

Away with it, let it go

Are not the trees green,

The earth as green?

Does not the wind blow,

Fire leap and the rivers flow?

Away melancholy.

I was sure

We'd beat them

At Hilton Park.

CHANT of the week: David Seaman wears all-black, as referees are now in green. Last week Chelsea fans welcomed him with: 'Who's the bastard in the black?'
