Explore "A Friendly Game of Football" by Edward Dyson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
We were challenged by The Dingoes -- they're the / pride of Squatter's Gap -- / To a friendly game of football on the flat by Devil's / Trap. / And we went along on horses, sworn to triumph in / the game, / For the honour of Gyp's Diggings, and the glory of / the same.
And we took the challenge with us. It was beautiful / to see, / With its lovely, curly letters, and its pretty filagree. / It was very gently worded, and it made us all feel / good, / For it breathed the sweetest sentiments of peace / and brotherhood.
