They call it Aussie pride
But it's not in any book
Its green and gold in color
And it's everywhere you look1
You'll hear it talked about
All around the world
By every Aussie bloke
And all the Aussie girls2
It dwells within their hearts
It fills their waking thoughts
When Australia's on the stage
It's the first thing that we're taught3
You can cheer amongst the crowd
Yell with all the rest
Deep within our souls
We feel we are the best4
No matter what the outcome
They'll always be 'true blue'
The lads that took the world to task
The mighty Socceroo's!!5
Author notes
Just a 'true blue' Aussie feeling very proud of our boys in Germany. Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi!!!
Please tell me what you think

Pride!
How I wish I could read something like this from my own country! Pride is a woderful thing and you expressed it very well!
It's nice to see a poem that isn't gloom and doom but full of -- what else?-- Pride.

You really captured the real Aussie spirit here! Great use of aussie slang like lads, aand blokes. I love your austrailian poems.
Go aussies! -
so true
*flails arms* did you watch the australian game?! their last game! *covers face with hands* there was no way that deserved a penalty kick! it wasn't even a yellow card! i'm still so worked up about this! but *breathes* we did so well to get that far! anyhoo, it was a great poem that focusses on what being an aussie is all about! well done! -
Poem
This isn't really a story, so was surprised to find a poem here at storywrite. That said, I thought you did a good job with this bit of poetry. Your rhyme was well done, I liked the timely nature of the subject and the whole thing was quite clever.beginning: 3, language: 4, plot: 1, ending: 3, dialog: 1, characters: 1.

i have never watched australia
it's true, sad but true, i have never watched australia play a game, n ot rugby, not football, not anything, so if i watch one, will i see all the aussies cheering?? the pride for every country makes me cry(then again, so did bamby) and you just keep delivering me pride in poems and stories. Le Magnifique!
