Imitated from Wordsworth

He brought a team from Inversnaid
  To play our Third Fifteen,
  A man whom none of us had played
  And very few had seen.

  He weighed not less than eighteen stone,
  And to a practised eye
  He seemed as little fit to run
  As he was fit to fly.

  He looked so clumsy and so slow,
  And made so little fuss;
  But he got in behind - and oh,
  The difference to us!
