The Tilgate Hoorah!

Judgment day approaches

For the venerable throng

To record this great Hoorah event

I pen this humble song.

The forests of great Tilgate

With looming trunks and boughs

Line the slender fairways

As Valkeyrie Viking prows

Braced to join in battle

With a great respected foe

Poised to score some damage

From the first great wayward blow

Will it be the RJ fade

Lashing through the trees

Or the Barnesie duck-hook

Sailing on the breeze

Will Eddie tame his demons

On the undulating slopes

Or will the Maharaja

Shout “COCK” to all his hopes

The Major is upon us

The pressure cranked right up

When double points are up for grabs

Who will lift the cup?

So grab your mashie niblick

Your baffy and your spoon

Your jigger and your cleek

For Tilgate’s coming soon.

The Bard
