The Worthiness



Deciding t’ watch th’ final match in bed at 3am on 
my PC made more sense than being in front of TV; 
well, it did to me, it meant I could still stay warm & 
content, less impedimenta of Winter’s chilly needs
conceding to three extra rugs wrapped luxuriously 
about a body already dressed in added layers; but, 
in all honesty, you’re nevertheless gripped in a vex 
of tedious ‘Seven’s Rugby Refereeing’ insanity 

It was the final between South Africa and England: 
I don’t follow either team - thus it mattered little to 
me who actually won in th’ end; I was there to see 
the drama in arbitration unfold, which it did, with a 
series of bizarre sequences that left players out of 
limelight in cameos of their pretentious overacting 

And that, in all honesty, made it so worthy to me
