bloody football

I gen’rally try to avoid if I can
AFL in all shapes and all forms
In Melbourne at least if you manage this feat
You look kinda strange and forlorn.

Today it seems harder than ever before
with seventeen pages of wrap-around news
of sacking the coach of one football team
to which I say “Kevin Shee-who?”

“Sheeds” so it seems, was a bit of a lad
if you ask your friends they’ll call him “character”
but all that he did was wave his jacket
around and that seems a bit average

I know that last line, it didn’t quite rhyme
but I promise I’m trying to make up this time
for all my past crimes, and with one long line,
make some sort of sign that I’m able to find
a line with nine rhymes for “malign”

There, is that better?

Running
12.25k this lunchtime, including a couple of laps of Princess Park. Quite a good run, no great hassles. The 0.25 is there just to make up for yesterday’s 14.92k. I made sure I ran the last few metres through the lobby at work. I had to push an old lady over to do it, but who cares.

She probably had it coming.
