CARTER AND STRAUSS

This is for you Fred.

You say my blog is boring so I will put the odd poem on rugby from time to time..

With the All Blacks about to teach South Africa a few lessons in rugby skills this Saturday, here's a poem about Dan Carter when he set a world record by scoring 33 points against the British Lions.

I was at the Johan Stauss Bar at the airport in Vienna when the game was being played.

Carter and Strauss

You don't pay schillings
At the Johan Strauss bar any more
As John Ts SMS bring me the score
Another airport another game
As the Lion's fortunes begin to wane

They don't accept schillings
So transit Vienna and transit Venus
At Wimbledon showing genius
As blond barmaids serve me wine
It's 21-13 to the ABs at half time
31 -13 another Carter try
The boutique sells Cartier ties
The bar frankfurters and mustard
While the Lion's game turns to custard

You don't pay schillings
The Euro's universal like the game
The Austrian currency went down the drain
Umanga's boys blow life into Strauss
As Carter & the boys bring down the house
The barmaids are blond
They smile and flirt
Makes a man feel a man
As the Lions bite the dirt
