A Song of Woe
SHOULD just like to mention (if space will permit) How our wonderful Rugby keeps all the men fit, Since our wily friends from overscas came . We shoulder our losses and they do the same. To hear the game broadcast is a treat we all know To all the poor people unable to go, Thanks to our radio, which brings to our ears, At the close of each game, three loud hearty cheers. Now the way 2YA describes every kick Makes all the -keen listeners appreciate wit; And how they all strive to go with the rest To our marvellous City to see the fourth Test! And, away to the Union, they wrote for sone seats, Feeling jovial and happy, and like spouting Keats; But back came a letter with very sad news, "No seats are available-all booked by the queucs!" Now that was enough to drive a aman mad As football he’s followed the same as his Dad. The country man’s chances are remote and thin; Still he backed old New Zealand and hoped she would win!
Not Downhearted.
