PERFIDIOUS
SIRI was scandalised to-day To hear a chap from 3YA Describe with brio and dispatch A most atrocious football-match, Repeat, atrocious, since the teams Were four in number, for it seems That Marist played no less than three Opposing sides. These proved to be Olbiun Awlbiun And Elbiun, O OLBIUN didn’t stay so long And Awlbiun never looked so strong ; But Elbiun didn’t give two hoots For Marist tries and Marist boots, And Elbiun rucked and passed and bored And Elbiun dived and Elbiun scored And Elbiun had lots of fun And, to be brief, the game was won By Olbiun Awlbiun And Elbiun. NOTHER foul injustice done To Ireland. And was there none To raise a cry of protest? No; This worse than giladiatorial show Was greeted, more’s the shame, with shrill and Raucous plaudits, O, New Zillund! O shame, embenkment and grendstend! O shame, all fens who thus co Olbiun ; Awlbiun And Elbiun!
