Give It Horns

Like a buffalo stampede
On a march unimpeded
By rock nor barrier 
By lock nor river 
Chop them into timber
Leave then blue and limber

Like a freshly uncovered thorn
Born hungry for the throne
A raging bull into the bullfight
Charging matador in a red suit of lights
Endure every crushing pain
With every tackle, a yard you gain

Turn the Sharks into sushi
Give it chopsticks like a rice patty
Crushed into compost with every blade of grass
Unstoppable with each rumbling, accurate pass
A bull on the rampage
A ball in the try stage

Count every drop of sweat
Forgive no sins for decent 
Toast every bloody nose
It’s a blue flood they face
Sound the victory horn
For the blue bloodline


A tribute to
The Blue Bulls
