#maroons
two tribes of footballers
on Wednesday night shall meet
to play for the State of Origin's
championship greet
the three games in the series
always being hard to win
as the sides stage a battle
on the field of league's min
they who follow this most
compelling test of sport
will see tackling and ball carries
so formidable in sort
Maroon and Blue jerseys
striving to conquer each other
by matching motors with
the goal of a triumphant smother

The Poets are our quintessential rebellious, rebels
The Maroons, the Braves, and the Daredevils
There is a ton of biases even in simple poetry
The Poets are known to be born freedom fighters
The unafraidheroes of hell, the sweet bees
Which can sing and sting, and deliver honey
Even in Poetry, we encounter weird free-loaders
Sick unabashed orators and pusillanimous braggers.
The Poets are born to be different, legally liberal
Awkwardly conservative, strong ass-kickers
Blunt truth seekers, and not obedient ass-kissers
Call the generals, the Police, and bring the arsenal
Of bloated words, and epithets; dumb or foolish attributes
Write verses and elegiac poems to pay countless tributes
To the sorry plagiarists, and to the ill-polished writers
Nobody cares anymore about the well-versed truth tellers.
