Rugby

Some lads are running with the ball,
leather, pointed, played by all, though
some would say it’s from the south,
it’s just as popular, up in Louth

Now not for me to bring up class,
seems that would be rather crass,
but here’s the thing that holds 
steadfast, most of us are middle-class

But we don’t care where your’e from,
when you tackle like a bomb, we’re all 
the same  when match is done…
beer, good cheer, and clubhouse fun.
