Don Scott’s Dimple
October 9, 2017 by 8 Comments
Don Scott’s dimple has seen it all:
from Kanga’s hop to Huddo’s fall.
’Twas there when Lethal came of age.
’Twas there when Crimmo left the stage.
When Scotty held the trophy up
his dimple mirrored on the cup.
When Hawthorn’s fortunes took a dive,
it fought to keep the Hawks alive.
The dimple thrives on contact sport
and now it comes for Kennett’s wart.

Would’ve been more impressed if the poem had been about Don’s handbag.
Love it Damo. Don’s dimple trying to thwart Kennett’s wart. Interesting battle. How do they shave those things?
Love your work, Damian. Guess you must be stoked having Kennett back at the club as el Presidente?!
I wanted to get the handbag in there, but Scotty insists it was a ‘European Carryall’.
Love Don Scott. One of the great characters of the game.
Made me smile – and think of poetry (or doggerel as Zampatti demeans it). Is there a rhyme for Kennet’s twat?
Peter B – there is, but it’s unprintable here.
Haven’t got any poems on Jeff, but you might remember this ditty from a few years back…

Sublime Damo. Give me this over odious trade/draft gumf any day.
