You Win Some..... !

There's a state of National mourning,
In response, to the grief and the woe,
For the ''Auld Mug'' is now but a mem'ry,
And that All Black loss, was a blow.

Now ''Old Nick,'' & mischance, had colluded,
And joined, in an unholy pact,
While Murph' & his Law, had come to the fore,
And hastened, to get in, on the act.

Yet one should recall, that despite, ruck & maul,
With no matter, the tears, and the yearning,
Though one be forlorn, the day will still dawn,
And the jolly old world, keeps a'turning.

So Please, don't remain, too downhearted,
Take pride, in achievements, to date,
For this Land, with just four million people,
Punches right out of its weight...
