When father decides to lie

My father isn’t much of a talker
But I was almost lured to Arsenal
Imagine having to watch Arsenal defend
He bragged about the invincibles season
Said Arsenal was named after Arsene
Said Henry is Nigerian and Igbo by tribe
I am in London with him but in the West
For the red Notherners have been shooting no target
Once, he said science class tested intelligence
My father doesn’t say things he wouldn’t do
This includes punishment for wrongs
And rewards for milestones achieved
As I said, he isn’t much of a talker
But his silence was loud enough
