Ockers Don't Play Soccer

OCKERS DON"T PLAY SOCCER.


Ockers don’t play soccer
They play Australian Rules
Or sometimes Rugby Union
(We hear it all at school.)
Ockers can't be rockers
They never have guitars
They rock around on motorbikes
Or clapped-out Holden cars
Ockers don’t have cockers
They go for bigger dogs
And leave 'em roaming off the lead
And hanging round the bogs.
Ockers don't have shockers
Their cars are all bum down
They scrape and drag their bumper bars
And belly on the ground
Ockers don't have shockers
They don’t have cockers too
Ockers can't be rockers
(Or only just a few)
Ockers don't have lockers
They kick their kit about
And ockers don’t play soccer-
Which is what this rhyme's about!

Your'e not wrong, sacriledge i may say so.

Great descriptive write, and I am highly amused at the latest developments between the wallabies and the Allblacks, it's hilarious. The Wallabies are going to do a corroboree dance come war cry, to match the Kiwi haka, fair go!!!

Kamate Kamate kura kura lolol

Such charming characters you describe, haha! Is there such a thing as an 'Ockeress' - if so, how would you describe her/them? Jackie <> <
