Swans Tragics

As per tradition, finals time is Haiku time

From edge of darkness
Sparkle Sydney’s rising stars
New paradigm dawns

You have probably  checked this out already but we do have to celebrate it. It would never happen in AFL would it?

Swans fly into Brisbane town
Belt the Lions while they are down
This pride of Lions has no pride
When they’re without Jonathan Brown

Selwood’s season’s a coaster roller
And let’s not mention B. Fevola
The Lions are just like Queensland
But not at all bipolar

Lolling a disastrous season away
Lions will sleep to avoid the fray
Sydney earning a final at home
Is more than just a whim-away

Watch it here or on YouTube

Watch it here or on YouTube

People are tense. On the edge of their seat
Who will win; who will suffer defeat?
“A moment in history” say all the blogs
Will it be Swans or maybe the Dogs?

Starship Enterprise sits over the Gee
Waiting to lift a brave Trekkie free
Captain Kirk knows to play on is dotty
Will radio the bridge to “Beam me up, Scotty”

“Easier to be Dogs forward than PM”
A quote from Julia that’s now a gem
So despite the fact she’s partially crowned
If she had her druthers, she’d be at the ground

Kirk, Gillard and Bulldogs all here tonight
Hope Starship teleport coordinates are right
A transporter accident could be so sinister
Scrambling Barry Hall into Prime Minister

Bard’s got nothing to say of worth
As the Swans fly in to Perth
But planets are aligned tonight
To celebrate Swans growing might

Dockers entrench in Subiaco
Led by Grover who must be whacko
Said they had their “pants pulled down”
Now there’s a thought to make you frown

Just last week they played a shocker
Like days of old for every Docker
So Swans are here to clearly dismantle
Finals hope for poor Fremantle
