At a packed Lansdowne Road last night?
The motives were vague and unclear,
The action offensive and trite.

For welcoming fans from abroad.
Their anthems receive an ovation,
Their excesses are largely ignored.

Why should we be so insulting?
Twas only through chance situation
That violence wasn’t resulting.

The Aussies are normally cheerful,
Ebullient, with great bonhomie,
But prior to the match they were tearful,
And well they had reason to be.

The music pre-match was quite harmless,
We bore it with scarcely a frown,
But it changed to offensive and charmless,
When they played “Tie Me Kangaroo Down.”
