In anticipation of “Port & Poetry” @ Rivermeade Farm – in line with a Rugby expectation – I have reflected on the Springboks disastrous recent Tri-Nations away fixtures against Australia and New Zealand these past two weeks (hopefully the upcoming encounters will yield more positive results):
the great white
a country waits
with baited breath
a team to make us proud
or groan, defeated
at the end
what strategy
what plan
to see the battle-weary
Bokke snatch defeat
from Wallaby
extinction
in the Kiwi-nest
and of the White
we call him Great
our strategist
our planner
his jaw is clenched
his teeth are ragged
outwitted to the end
