A COLD WINTERS NIGHT IN CANBERA

This was one of my attempts to report on a Parramatta game in verse.It was a cold Australia winters night in Canberra,that Parramatta started a run of games that made us feel that all was not lost in this 2006 season.

A COLD WINTERS NIGHT IN CANBERRA

GOOD EVENING PARRAMATTA FANS,
FROM CANBERRA,SATURDAY NIGHT
TO WATCH OUR MIGHTY PARRA EELS
AGAINST THE RAIDERS FIGHT.
THE USUAL A.C.T WEATHER FOLKS
AND,I WANT YOU ALL TO KNOW IT,
I'M FREEZIN ME BLEEDIN NUTS OFF,
POOR PARRAMATTA POET.

OUR LADS ARE REALLY PUTTING IN
WHEN,EARLY IN THE GAME
A GOOD LONG PASS FROM TIMMY SMITH
AND IN WENT JARRYD HAYNE
CONVERSION BRETT DELANEY,
FOUR MINUTES ON,JOHNNY MORRISS DOES THE SAME,
BALL OUT WIDE TO THE WING
AND OUR JARRYD'S IN AGAIN.

WITH GOOD DEFENCE WE KEPT THEM OUT
AND,HALFTIME IS LOOMING NEAR.
RIGHT ON THE SIREN,WE LET ONE IN,
TEN-SIX,AND TIME FOR BEER.
AHEAD AT THE BREAK ONCE AGAIN,
WE'VE BEEN DOING IT ALL SEASON.
BUT,WE'LL KONK OUT,UN-FIT AND FAT
THEY SAY THAT IS THE REASON.

SECOND HALF JUST STARTED,
BARELY TIME TO TAKE MY SEAT,
WHEN TIM SLIPS THE BALL TO MORRISSON
WITH JUST THE BACKS TO BEAT.
A TWIST,A TURN,A SHIMMY
AND,HEAPS OF STRENGTH AND MIGHT,
HE PUTS OUR TEAM FURTHER AHEAD,
COULD THIS BE OUR NIGHT?

WE SHOULD HAVE SEWN IT UP FROM THERE
WITH TWO MORE TRIES,WE SURE WOULD.
BUT THAT SILLY BLOOMIN POMMIE REF
CALLED BOTH PASSES FORWARD.
AND.THE RAIDERS GOT ANOTHER ONE,
THAT ADDED TO THE PAIN.
THEY ONLY NEED TO GET ONE MORE
OH NO,HERE WE GO AGAIN.

BUT,WE DIDN'T,WE HUNG IN THERE,
WITH DETERMINATION RARELY SEEN.
AND PARRA WERE THE VICTORS
TWELVE POINTS TO EIGHTEEN.
SO FOLKS,THATS ALL FROM CANBERRA,
THE TEAM WE FINALLY BEAT,
SIGNING OFF "PARRAMATTA POET,
ARSE FROZEN TO THE SEAT."
