Why I  play
(c) MrsMyth

I play for the mateship,
the challenge,
the thrill.
I play for the teamwork,
the fun,
and the drill.
I play for the feeling,
the buzz;
sports caress.
I play for the drama.
I play to express.
I play for the exercise,
fitness and health.
I play beside paupers,
or players of wealth.
I play for the tactics,
the strategic ploys.
I play beside men
who once started as boys.
I play to win pennants
or trophies or Cups.
I play like a mongrel
protecting her pups.
I play for the rumbles.
I play for the knocks.
I play for the upsets.
I play for the shocks.
I play to improve myself.
I play for honour.
I play to impress girls
like Lisa or Donna.
I play to get out a bit,
out in the sun.
I play to be social, and just have a run.
I play for the tours,
but when all's said and done,
The reason I play football; ...

It's great ruckin fun!
