Garlic Football

Nostrils flared cheeks all flushed
Ancient rituals of war
Breathing heavy in chest crushed
As kingdom come together roar

Hearts bursting neath the crest
Thunder feet on soggy ground
 green and gold the ancient vest
Like stampeding horses bound

Thighs burning, calfs strained
Bend and gather never yield
Hard won progress gained
To drive further up the field

Not for money fame or fortune 
But for glory Kingdom roar
Battle onward nor impune
Glory Kingdom ever more 

Cloying mud to overcome
Passioned foes in waves like thunder
Never slowly always run
Now to pull the foes asunder

Lashing rain the eyes to sting
Forging body mind and soul 
Together as one team to bring
Ever closer to the goal

To the mighty, To the fallen
Noble spirits gone before
Hear the roar the ancients callin
Glory green and gold once more

Sinews stretched in every motion
Strained in effort mind and spirit 
Doubt cannot be seen an option
Faith comittment and true grit

Pride and joy in chest will swell
As victory nears the grasp
As you play the last farewell 
Once again the trophy clasp
