round 19: haiku bob – slipstreaming

This week’s match report comes from Budapest in Hungary where I attended the Formula 1 Grand Prix. Fascinating city. Wonderful race. And another Magpie victory.

 

practice session —

every one of Cloke’s kicks

is a goal

 

 

safety car —

Prismall’s knee collapses

at the first turn

 

 

slipstreaming –

Pendlebury moves his shadow

this way and that

 

 

chicane –

a little swivel

and Krakouer breaks free

 

 

muggy day —

Bombers cling

to the lead

 

 

 

change in the lead —

every players’ role the same

but different

 

 

Button by

the length of the straight–

Fasolo’s fifth

 

 

*blue flag —

the crowd cheers every time

Swan touches it

 

*A blue flag warns the driver that he is about to be lapped and to let the faster car overtake him.
