He brought a team from Inversnaid <br />To play our Third Fifteen, <br />A man whom none of us had played <br />And very few had seen. <br /> <br />He weighed not less than eighteen stone, <br />And to a practised eye <br />He seemed as little fit to run <br />As he was fit to fly. <br /> <br />He looked so clumsy and so slow, <br />And made so little fuss; <br />But he got in behind -- and oh, <br />The difference to us!<br /><br />Robert Fuller Murray<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/imitated-from-wordsworth/
