The ancient footy jersey
By Lucy B
Red, white

The smell of the canteen
The precious memories shared
Throughout the family
The smell from all the meat pies
And the stains of tomato sauce all over
120 years ago
This tradition started
From my great-great-great grandpa in war
Who fought for us to live
He made a Sydney jersey
To pass down the family for
generations
and
generations
We miss you great-great-great grandpa
So many good memories shared throughout the family because of you.
