A Question of Sport, Pantoum Options

[Guest__*]

I wonder are they good enough?
Perhaps it’s just a futile dream;
They have to be of winning stuff
To be a first class champions team.

Perhaps it’s just a futile dream?
The waiting fans ask nothing less.
To be a first class champions team
Takes dedication and finesse.

The waiting fans ask nothing less.
But sheer perfection on the field
Takes dedication and finesse,
A fortitude that will not yield.

But sheer perfection on the field
Requires a modicum of chance,
A fortitude that will not yield
To importunate circumstance.  

That minor modicum of chance,
No fouls or forfeits to be paid
To importunate circumstance.
Our team at last may make the grade.

Hi Lori.
I know that this is in Seasonal Works.
We Rugby Union fanatics are deep in the midst of the World Cup
A season of goodwill to all nations and a hymn to the cream of Welsh Rugby.
All we have to do now is beat the English, the Australians and the New Zealand All Blacks. Cymru am Byth.
