State Of Origin

And so they say ‘what do you see in the State of 

Origin Rugby League series’ as if it’s a rhetorical 

question: &, a game of footy, apparently isn’t the 

right answer; it’ll get you abuse you’ll likely need 

a translator for, tho to an extent that depends on 

a waxing-loquacious-miscreant’s  jersey colour - 

you’ve maroon or blue t’ identify who’s who and 

how to handle what might be a genuine query 

Altho worn with game-mad pride by a few, its th’ 

way of saying - we’re from NSW or Queensland, 

and the series tells you who’s who in The Rugby 

League - so thus its our hearts on our sleeves in 

which State is rated as The Best; - or isn’t it that 

obvious, if you needed to ask it in the first place
