What a shame
Oh what a shame
The footy is suspended
It will be different to not have sport on the television
But it has to be done
Oh yeah it has to be done
What a absolute shame
That the footy isn’t on for a while
The stupid coronavirus got rid of the footy
At least for a few months
Could be more well it is more likely
To be more
Just when the raiders are playing their better game
They can’t prove themselves
To be a great premiership winning team no more
No, the footy is over
And we have to cope without watching footy on tv
Or watching it at the ground
Or in the pubs and clubs
I remember way back in 1914 to 1918 in my previous life, when I was Albert Waldron life was hard
I was suffering
We didn’t have social media to keep us occupied back then
We had to deal with it
Now it is coming back to my mind
But knowing we do have tv and radio and social media like Facebook and YouTube to keep us informed
Back then we had to line up outside news offices to find out more
We were struggling but now we have television and all other technology to keep us informed and I remember hating every day but somehow we survived
But now we need to just keep our eyes on the news, by golly, we didn’t have it back then
From
Albert Waldron great south Australian footballer way back then
