Footy is soccer —
except when you’re ocker.
Up north they hold forth
on the pleasures of Rugby.
I find it ugly,
a form of thuggery.
Down south they are fools
for Aussie Rules.
As I was born and raised
a Southerner — well,
you would have a right to be amazed
if I didn’t follow the AFL.
Not a native Melburnian,
I got to choose.
‘Carn —
the mighty Blues!’
