Shrimp in a Kilt
Guest
I think the longest Hour of all
Is when the fans have come --
And we are waiting for the players --
It seems as though the Time
Indignant -- that the Joy was come --
Did block the Gilded Hands --
And would not let the Seconds by --
But slowest instant -- ends --
The Pendulum begins to count --
Like little Scholars -- loud --
The steps grow thicker -- in the Hall --
The Heart begins to pound --
Then I -- my Internet connection done --
Tho' for compensation 'tis not good--
Take up my pint of best --
And further North -- do pray.
