Hauling hard together Sweat stream in the eyes, Sinews stretch like whipcord, Tongue saliva dries. Key man at the pivot point Reliant on a lead, To call the shots decisively Whilst calloused fingers bleed. Whites of eyes are bulging And stress climbs to a strain And the need for trust's reliance Tests the mettle in the pain. Dependable this long day through? Pedantic to a tee? When the crunch impacts upon him When the tensions fly for free? That's where the game is won or lost As each is forced to bend Then the last thing on your wishlist Is for a fair weather friend!

The Reliant
Hauling hard together Sweat stream in the eyes, Sinews stretch like whipcord, Tongue saliva dries. Key man at the pivot point Reliant on a lead, To call the shots decisively Whilst calloused fingers bleed. Whites of eyes are bulging And stress climbs to a strain And the need for trust's reliance Tests the mettle in the pain. Dependable this long day through? Pedantic to a tee? When the crunch impacts upon him When the tensions fly for free? That's where the game is won or lost As each is forced to bend Then the last thing on your wishlist Is for a fair weather friend!
