#48

Australia Day, two-oh-oh-eight.
Five years ago today.
I took a train to Nottingham
And out we went to play.

But the memory that lingers most
Is what Jim Jefferies said
On Fighting Talk that morning
As I listened from my bed.

Ashley Cole had played away
And thrown up during. Fool.
And asking Jim to comment
Was like a red rag to a bull.

He said, "No, no. That's fair enough.
'Cause, sometimes, you need lube."
And that memory has tickled me
As I sit here on the Tube.
