If you started a sports team, what would the colours and mascot be?
I already have a team
For playing fantasy games
The kit comes partly from my name
And favourite rugby team.
The name comes from a Scottish team
Perhaps you‘ll know the one?
I picked it for the sound alike
And call them Green O‘The South.
You’ll understand the kit a bit
If you know Harlequins
A famous team in quartered shirts
That play at Twickenham.
The stripes and sleeves cerise and blue
Borrowed from the Quins
The brown and grey I used for socks
And also took from them.
I emphasised the green in the kit
Because that is my my name.
Hope you’ll understand that
And not think that I’m vain.
I haven’t thought of mascots
I am not quite that sad.
Perhaps as we are Berkshire based
It ought to be a stag?
We never really play of course
It’s based on real life games
I’m a sort of manager
But only in my dreams.
