He brought a team from Inversnaid 
To play our Third Fifteen, 
A man whom none of us had played 
And very few had seen.

He weighed not less than eighteen stone, 
And to a practised eye 
He seemed as little fit to run 
As he was fit to fly.

He looked so clumsy and so slow, 
And made so little fuss; 
But he got in behind -- and oh, 
The difference to us!
