Almanac (Footy) Poetry – The Rhymer: The Rules (With deference to Pink Floyd)

The rules don’t need no alterations
Tom Will’s game is AOK
the rules just need interpretation
Hey! Gillon, leave the game alone.
All umpires need is a clear understanding that’s all
All umpires need is a clear understanding that’s all
We don’t need no rules committee
The rules we have are clearly stated
Interpretation is the answer
Heh! Gillon, leave them rules alone
Heh! Gillon, leave the game alone
All in all we want is a clear understanding that’s all
All umpires need is a clear understanding that’s all

…And when I try to get through,
On the telephone to you
Gil – there’ll be nobody home…
