[ A poem from the time of the Sydney Olympics, 2000]
The girl from Greenmount’s boyfriend
Winning Gold for Britain
Swimming with such power, massive thighs
Winning gold with ease
On Holland’s pies and mushy peas
Which the tattoos on his buttocks advertise
Several hours of training
Up and down the cut
Whether it’s rainy or dry
And whenever he’s in need of that bit of extra speed
He grabs himself another Holland’s pie
Something in the pastry
Or the lovely meaty filling
Seems to give him boundless energy
Without flatulence
God willing
Faithful to the end
The athlete’s solid friend
Holland’s, Britain’s premier pie
So as the national anthem plays
Our hero simply says:
I did it for me girlfriend
And I did it for me Mum
But I owe it all to Holland’s
(See the tattoos on me bum)
Without Holland’s steak and kidney
I wouldn’t even be in Sydney
Holland’s - Britain’s medal winning pies
Pop in……..we’re op’n

Love it! Do they still sell Hollands Cheese & Onion pies? We don't get them down South :(
ReplyDeleteCheese has been ILLEGAL, N of Watford, for some years. [EEC rules]. You should know that. I do have a small section of my freezer full of 2001 Cheese n Onion, for 75p each. Interested, Callie? OK, 70p each if u buy more than 10. Let me know.
ReplyDeleteIts like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book
ReplyDeletein it or something. I think that you can do with some pics to
drive the message home a bit, but instead of that, this is magnificent blog.
A great read. I will definitely be back.
