On Aussie Rules
Perhaps we should not overlook
what soccer fans have said:
‘an oval ball, an oval ground,
for men with oval heads.’

to Mal Meninga?
Smell my finger.
The World Game
The European conquerors
took soccer to the nations;
like rabbits it’s the tell-tale sign
of British occupation.

Mate, simple, brilliant, inspiring! Totally. Gunna change a nappy then write!! Thanks heaps!
Ha ha,
It took me a couple of reads to realise that there

Well played, Damo
Thanks Matt & Smokie. I concede these stanzas are a bit disjointed and probably just an excuse to get a bit of verse on Hopoate out there. Cheers.
