To a Wooden Spoon
To a Wooden Spoon
Emblem of our great disgraces, beaten teams and long-lost races, Calling tragedies to mind When victoria slipped behind
All the other Colleges in sport. Sure we hope to lose you now; In some other town endow Honours of a dougtful kind, With your hoodoo eyes, designed
Seemingly to bring all toll to naught.
Yet, familiar comrade, after Two full years beneath our rafter Some intangible attraction Binds us, paralysing action
In our warriors when their duels are fought.
So Spoon we feel that you'll remain When Easter battles pass again.
