Robbie will not bump no more
The dance is dead he knows the score

Brave Sir Robin run away you go free.

With apologies to Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

For those who follow Australian football.

The first game was played in California;
LA Coliseum the arena.

ODE TO THE AFL!!!  (Melbourne, Australia, a unique whimsy)

Are footy fanatics,
Total raving lunatics?
