Talking Carlton

sorry couldn't help myself.

This is a reworking of something I wrote sometime earlier but thought it didn't quite work.

Now it has a title and a theme to hold it together.

TALKING CARLTON:
(for the mods)

What is it that twists at us so?
That calls to us across the suburbs
Until our feet itch to be on their way
Without even knowing where they go?

We dream of The Bluebaggers,
Of champions rampant under the Navy Blue sky.

We dream of white monograms
And the gentle shade under the sacred Stand.

Who then dreams with us?

Whose heart quickens at a glimpse of that jumper?
Of the visions that swirl
With memories of famous victories
Like the deep blue dreams
Of our long ago and faraway childhoods?

Talking Carlton calls!
Talking Carlton calls!
Talking Carlton! Talking Carlton!
The Land of Navy Blue,
The place where we can gather
And let discussions about the Navy Blue
Bestow a gentle peace upon us.

Talking Carlton is the river that always finds its true path.
Talking Carlton is the wolf that howls proudly to its mother.
It is the ant that labours through the hot days of summer
And the ladybird that glitters as it kills to feed.
It is the antlered King who runs before the pack.
It is the strings of a harp that cries the sweetest tunes
Across the blossoming grounds of the AFL.

We are Talking Carlton again!
We are Talking Carlton again!
We are always Talking Carlton again!

We follow the team in the famous Navy Blue jumper!
We gather on line and in person
And talk all things Carlton.
We sing their legends
And create new ones about their daring deeds.

Watch my hands
As they talk about Carlton.
Follow my words
As they shout about Carlton.
Hear my voice
As it sings about Carlton!

We are the acorn that grows in Carlton.
We are the oak that casts shade in Carlton.

We are them all and much, much more,
For the talking never ends
But twists and curls,
Always touching back upon itself
Before proceeding onwards:

Come to Talking Carlton!
Come to Talking Carlton!
Come and set your dreams free:
Fly upon the deep blue words of Talking Carlton
As we follow the team where all our hopes
Are released into an ocean of possibility.

Come to Talking Carlton
And share the bitter seeds of defeat.
Come to Talking Carlton
And taste the sweet fruits of victory!
Come to talking Carlton
And share our words and thoughts and dreams.

Everyone is welcome
When they come to talk Carlton.
Everyone is someone
When they enter the Navy Blue world
Of Talking Carlton.

Danny, I'd like to be the first to scroll straight to the bottom of the page and compliment you on your latest effort. I (like everyone else) didn't read it, but I'm sure it was very good.

Just kidding. I really did read the whole thing. Didn't understand a word, but I kept going anyway. Something to do with talking about carlton, right? :wink:

hey how'd you get to 59 posts! :evil:

Ryan8024 · **Posted:** Mon Feb 28, 2005 9:07 pm

Never mind that, how the HELL does Camelboy have 300 posts? :shock:

That's 100 posts per day, or 23.55% of the total. source (as of the current time, anyway).

I bet he made a forum that only he can access, and he's filling it up with blank double-posts :evil:

I think you'll find that danny's poetry career started sometime back in the Jurassic period.

Can someone summarise that poem for me?

dannyboy · **Posted:** Thu Oct 19, 2006 11:16 pm

poem for 2006
(@#$%&! off mods)

Talking shit
cos we're shit
the board's shit
the players are shit
the coach is really shit
shit we'll draft Gibbs
and that shits me
everyone feels shitty
cos the shit keeps hitting the fan
and it doesn't
we're up shit creek
and Whitnal is paddling
and Kouta is on a grassy bank somewhere
while the kids get to carry the shit

so welcome to Talking Shit
no, not welcome

@#$%&! off!
