last Friday night my footy team
got a good trouncing
the thirteen chaps all need
a measure of bouncing
penalty after penalty
they permitted the other side
it was a sure sign that my team
were well out of stride
one suspects the chaps
weren't on the same boat
none of their passes or tackling
was bound to keep them afloat
twas disappointing
to witness such awful play
for eighty long minutes it continued
with a lack luster display
there was so much ball
fumbled and lost by the chaps
which didn't much enhance
a win landing in their laps
at my sides next outing
on the footy ground
they'll be requiring a game
which is more sound
this passionate devotee
of rugby league
did sense in her team
some evidence of fatigue
the weeks ahead will be glumly
unless they improve
for their game has not been
in a successful groove
