A Poem that may drag on











Perhaps dragons derive from dinosaurs
rather than from mother-in-laws.

Although both are grim and fire-breathing,
there’s only one you can believe in.

Dragons are the villains of ancient fairy tales
and also the emblem of the flag of Wales.

Dragons spend their leisure
dwelling in a cave
filled with treasure,
saving energy for a weekend monster rave,
finding their pleasure
devising ways to misbehave.

Once, high overhead they flew
until along came St George and slew
the most fearsome but the last.
And now, alas, they live only in the past.

The Welsh take the Biscuit










It may sound weird,
It may sound funny,
But the mixture of kiwi fruit
and manuka honey
tastes really rather scrum-my.

Out of the 'old world of Europe'
came the recipe,
from there exported
to the New Zealand Maori.

Just like the Maori people
they are made of sterner stuff,
dunk them in your tea and they'll
still stay tough.

Thanks Heavens New Zealand
weren't in the 6 Nations Cup.
England wouldn't have stood up
to the All Blacks ruck.

In the end it didn't matter
it wasn't the flippin' Haka,
we were beaten 30 points to 3
by the men from the welsh valley.
