The National game of Australia is Australian Rules Football <br />And the Aussies who love their game say 'tis the greatest game of all <br />Soccer, Rugby Union and Rugby League and Cricket have their roots elsewhere <br />But no truer Aussie sportsman than an Aussie Rules footy player, <br />A game born on Australian soil it surely is Australia's own <br />And the legend of great footy players in their deaths has even grown <br />In September at the famed M C G in Melbourne on A F L Grand Final Day <br />Close to one hundred thousand people flock to watch Australia's best teams play <br />Though many like both codes of rugby and cricket and soccer a game that is played Worldwide <br />Australia's National game is Aussie Rules to many that's a source of pride <br />The National Game of Australia and it's great claim to fame <br />Is that it was born and bred in Australia and is the only true Australian Game <br />And it surely is a true Aussie as Aussie as can be <br />And though some others may like introduced games far better with what I say many would agree.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-national-game-of-australia/
