Hannibal's elephants had flapping ears and tusks with sharpened points br Which he set upon the enemy to disembowel and break their joints br A frightening, fearsome sight which had strong, brave men in a cower br But along came General Scipio who found a way to break their power br br Let them through, let them through he boldly told his troops br Then from the side with our spears upon them we will swoop br It worked a charm, the combat won for General Scipio br A bloody battle fought in history many centuries ago br br A few decades back fought a warrior who went by name of Artie Beetson br In rugby league his rampaging style was considered highly fearsome br He pushed and shoved and spun and hacked his way through the defence br With skill, dexterity and agility which belied his size, immense br br But even the fiercest warrior has no weapon to conquer time br So after several years, he still played the game but at a different paradigm br He turned out for a local club he owned, and his skills were still all there br Even though his belly was twice the size and had only half his hair br br He'd draw the defence, then effortlessly offload the ball to a flying team mate br Tries were being scored left and right at a very rapid rate br At half time, the coach, Joey Chambers pulled in tight his team br Let him through, let him through, he said, with in his eye a gleam br br Artie grabbed the ball, and began to run, he was a legend right enough br But as he ran and ran and ran he ran right out of puff br His legs began to wobble, his head began to spin br Poor Artie hit the deck and that was the end of him.
