This poem by some wag sent to a Gippy paper in 1920, seemingly giving his thoughts on a scratch match between teams from Hiawatha and Wonyip :
(a blurry scan, couldn't make out some passages, used assumption for some others)

O' Hiawatha put a toy tin trumpet to her lips
And blew a dismal squeak that meant to be
A blast of triumph just as if her men had come to grips
And they had gained a brilliant victory

Alas! The narrow-minded always make a mighty fuss
To put themselves in favour with the gods
And thus, Wonyip's barrackers and players missed the bus
The 'Strowlers made them mountains out of clods

To make a few odd players and on-lookers seem immense
Bold Minnie ha-ha said "they come in force"
And grandly did they lie about the numbers sheer pretence
To make folks think them Paladins, of course

And then ... ... Hiawatha tooted with ...
Her ten goals, something, to a point, I think
And how they kicked them easy as has ever been their way
But scores are simply made with pen and ink

The truth is this; a few stray boys went looking for a kick
As over half their team had been detained
The 'Strowlers saw a chance to make the joker take a trick
So sir, I hope the matter is explained
 
Heading up to my sisters property for a few days, I canā€™t remember the last time I went away anywhereā€¦Gonna be stinking hot up there too which is another thing I canā€™t remember much of!

I hope you're all enjoying a nice break and studying the Four Quarters manual in your downtime. Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever Iā€™ve watched a few terrible shows and movies over the Xmas break and always think of you :D

I ordered 14 bottles of supermarket brand cola and they subbed 4 of them for sugar free again ... I wish they'd just give me some other soft drink with the sugar still in it. Even lemonade would have done.

As far as home brand cola goes, this is the only one for me.
