The Six Nations

Italy, Ireland
Wales, Scotland and France
Not forgetting the English
Who stand a fair chance
Of winning the six nations
By ruck and by maul
For victory is insight
With elliptical ball
And muddied persuasion
To kick and to run
Whilst the rest of us watch
Drink beer and have fun!

Muddy Boys (Haiku)

Boys will all be boys
Playing in the mud and dirt
Covered head to toe

Men all caked in mud
Coming in from the rugby
Something’s never change!
