MAROON.


GO THE MAROONS!

(As far away as possible!)

If I were back in England and I ever said 'maroon'

I would always have to say the word as rhyming with 'baboon',

But, as I'm in Australia, I have become quite prone

To say 'maroon' as rhyming with 'alone'!

Maroon is a sporting colour, to do with rugby games,

Where grown men fight like tigers and call each other names.

I've never seen a rugby game, I'd find it very rough,

But others simply cannot get enough!

Maroon's the colour of Queensland (our New South Wales is blue)

And when it's State of Origin there's a lot of ballyhoo!

My son-in-law played Rugby and he thinks I'm rather strange

Disliking it, but I know I wont change!

I'm asked which team I follow and I always answer 'none',

And then I'm thought of as a person others ought to shun!
So I sometimes wish I wasn't so unusual because

It's hard to be unsporty when in Oz.

A sport I really enjoy here:
