“Grizz put this footy in my hands and only Grizz will take it away!” cried maggot as his ever bony fingers gripped a surprisingly light yet genuine Australian football.
Maggot, dwelling on the virtue of his virtious axquantiance (Grizz), then underestimated his umpiring ability by carelessly booted the ball onto the roof of Petronas, location: somewhere near Kanchanaburi.
Mango, after just coming to terms with his beloved but stolen possession appeared nonchalant, as that is the mango way. For the benefit of the reader Mango had sat on the ball whilst watching a chicks’ footy match in Canberra. Not aware of the kangaroo skins origins mango had watched serenely as 36 chicks fought out a magnificently dreary result and bemusedly looked on as each squad boarded a bus bound for somewhere equally uninspiring – without their ball. Mango had this to say about Canberra: “Yeah it was al right, all right!”
In the corner of Hanrihans a shadow streaked across the wall. It was burly and resembled closely a great tiger of the past,
Meanwhile in the Crown van Alan “Yoda” Sutherland took leave from his wedding plans to say: “You must feel pretty bad Maggot?”
“I do, I feel bloody awful!” replied our antagonist.
Mango tucked into a banana. “I’ve done all I can. Now it’s up to Maggot to give me a reason to live!”
Without warning Saul Morgan tuned the radio into an AM frequency. Soul has always been good for things like that. The mood was broken and the football was quickly forgotten, as was David Patterson as Heinekens were liberally thrown around and consumed without fear or prejudice. Mango declared that he liked rock and soul but he never liked disco.
Then it hit, BANG!
An unusually sunny guitar. Hooey had composed an extraordinarily sunny riff to commemorate the cops not arresting Maggot. The riff was right, the riff was tight and perfectly suited to AM radio.
A couple of sips of Hooey’s AM love potion and the boys were away.
Greg mellor appeared rfom the darkness, “Win boys win!” he said.
They did, the Tigers won. Asia is sure, funky Maggot is top three.
Good luck against Hong Kong fellas. It’s a ride!
