A Poetic Tribute (Sort of) To State Of Origin 2016

There's something so captivating about watching silly Aussies be ... silly.

Origin, Origin

We need our own Origin

Bring us our own

State of Origin

Queensland’s dynasty

New South Wales hope

Cameron Smith whinging

Paul Gallen’s back turned

Toughness and skill

Grit and flair

Entertaining, absorbing...

Just no punches

Three massive Wednesday nights

I'm glad it's over

Money hungry footy

Devouring its own success

A burden on the season

Made for TV

Bloating the game

With self-absorbed hype

I'm a kiwi, though

What do I know?

I know what I love:

Fair dinkum NRL footy

Origin, Origin

Stay where you are, Origin

Fuck right off from my yard

State of Origin

Gimme a Kiwis test instead

A Haka and a Speights

Chur cuzzy, that's us

Leave Origin to James Tamou, cashin' in
