England Expects

rugbyEveryone who came to the last Wondermentalist Cabaret was making a conscious choice not to stay in and watch international rugby on TV, a decision that I feel was vindicated by the quality of the evening. This is a rugby-based poem to acknowledge what they were missing… England Expects

The scrum, the ruck, the pack, the maul

Bulked up bodies, a mis-shapen ball

A red rose on a bloodstained shirt

Oggi, Oi! Oggi, Oi!

Oggi Oggi Oggi – ow! that really hurt!
