Glen’s Poetic Compositions

The Narrer Knockers
When the moon shines on the clubhouse
And the match is o’er and won,
You will find us, altogether,
Boozing up and having fun.

Chorus:
We are the champion drinkers,
‘Cause we do like our beer
We are the Narrer Knockers
Full of fun and good cheer.
So listen and hear,
There is no need to fear!

Our supporters all come with us
To our matches far and near.
You can hear them on the sideline,
“If you lose you’ll get no beer!”
Chorus…
If we lose a game this season,
You’ll not find us sad and glum,
’cause our Coach gives us the message,
“Wait ’till training night, you bum!”
Chorus…
When you see us on the paddock,
Don’t we make a lovely sight?
For we look like jolly green giants
And play like dy-no-mite.
Chorus…
Now you’ve seen us, and you’ve heard us,
So you know just who we are.
When you come to our new clubrooms,
You’ll be welcome at the bar.
Chorus…

Voluntary Labour
The shop, the kitchen, the toilets they say,
Due to the labourers are well on their way.
The chill-room is there, though naked of beer;
To the boys working there it must surely bring tears.
This poem was written to point out to you,
Grateful thanks are due to those boys that were few.
The voluntary labour of all of this crowd
Should make this club thankful, successful and proud.
