BALL BOYS

By tackles of cruelness, the players are falling
and out of the big stand I hear the crowd calling.
They live in the hope that their highly paid bruisers
will touch the ball down as the winners ( not losers).
Through gaps in defenders and dodging their clawing,
struggles the halfback; he's over ! he's scoring !
And louder than thunder ( though nothing like singing )
the cheers of supporters are roaring and ringing.

So you do follow the football Neville Kendall would be laughing..

That's a pearler Nev describes rugby Union to a tee.


I said to a bloke one day I really cannot follow the rules for rugby ?

He pulled me up and said there are no rules for rugby . There are the laws of the game.

Bob

Oh my! You scored with that one Neville - well done

Yeah h surprised me as well Mausie. I thought Neville did not like sports.



Bob

Just cause I might not like something does not mean I have to be totally ignorant of it, after all I don't like cats but I know about the horrid things.

I hope your knowledge of cats does not extent to crabbing Neville

No.

There taste all right


Bob ( inside a crab I mean !)

Well done Neville - even if you are murdering one of my favorite poems.

Cheers Terry
