'Twas a shock for the whole wide world,
When the most famous actor came
To a football match in Brisban,
But the culprit had no shame,
The kick-off went up like a cork,
Then like a bomb came down,
McKilroy stepped forward and dropped it;
A groan throughout the town.
He watched the scrum with longing,
But he couldn't make a sound.
He jumped on top of all the boys,
And knocked the ref straight down.
Later on he recieved the ball,
He dodged, he ran, and tried!
The captain said "Are you drunk?"
Then went away and cried!
