A Silly Poem

Where have all the Pirates gone ?

That used to cheer with us

Who used to fill the beer tent full ?

We complained about the crush

Where have all the young girls gone ?

Who came to see the boys

Who flicked their hair and fluttered their eyes

We miss their youthful noise

Where have all those people gone? 

Long time sleeping

Waiting for the Stadium

And dry, their powder keeping ?

When the Pirates reach the promised land

Will they still be sleeping?

Or will they then in thousands come

Out from the woodwork creeping ?

Where have Cook and Wardy gone

Who used to steal the ball ? 

Where is Rhodri, lightning fast

And Laurie, strong and tall

Where's Señor Alberto gone?

And old man-mountain Paver

They've all matured, and now moved on

To duller, grown-up labour

Where have perfidious Albion gone

Our local derby battle

Or C.A.B.s ( or Laun-ces-ton!)

Thank God! We've still got Cattle !

And where had Dickie Evans gone?

Long time sleeping

He was waiting for this day

And still, the faith was keeping.
