RANDOM REMINDER
AT THE PARK
We promised a pop play this morning—a pop play of our times. We have kept that promise. And in case you have forgotten what constitutes a pop play, may we remind you that it uses the noise symbols of the comic strips, but dispense with both their words and pictures. This one is entitled “The Ref Needs Glasses’’ and the scene is Lancaster Park at the start of a Rugby Match. No 1, of course, is
the referee, No 2 the ball, No 3 the crowd and Nos 4 and 5 two burly opposing forwards. And if you don’t follow what’s happening. we’re sorry, but we don’t think you know your Rugby. Here it is then: No 1: Tweep, tweep. No 2: Chunk. No 3: Waaah! No 2 Chunk, chunkety, chunkety. No 3: Ooooh! No 1: Tweep. No 3: Umph. No 4: Clunk!
No 5: UghS!! ! No 1: Tweep, tweep, tweep! Exit No 5. No 3: Boooooo! No 1: Tsk tsk. Tweep. No 2: Chunk, No 3: Raaay! you > re rea ii y wl u> u you won’t need our key explaining that the bail rolls into touch after the kick-off, a forward punches another, who in the confusion gets sent off, and a goal is scored from the subsequent penalty. Heh. heh heh hmm?
