Australians can be a divided lot
When it comes to important things
The royal wedding was being relayed
But football is what Friday night brings
The royal fans stood their ground
The television station even complied
They weren’t going to be held responsible
For a nations divide
The football was delayed an hour
While royal fans enjoyed the view
Of the much anticipated wedding
And Wills and Kate, saying – I do! (I will)
The station took control soon after
‘We leave the royal wedding now,
The football’s about to start’
The walk down the aisle, is not an important part?
Compromise is a wonderful thing
Although at times, seemingly - unfair
Friday football is broadcast nearly every week
The royal wedding a ‘once in a lifetime’ affair!
This did make me laugh, Janette. Doesn't football get enough coverage as it is?
ReplyDeleteAt least they delayed it a bit, and I caught up with what I'd missed the next day. I pretended I thought it despicable, but actually wasn't surprised. I know how 'important' sport is to Aussies.
