The Epitaph

Hawthorn you fought hard,
Hawthorn you tried,
You are a good team so hold your heads up high,
For even the greatest sometimes must fall,
Hawthorn the Brave Team you gave your all.

Defeat brings your silence but the Hawks did speak loud
If Jeff Kennett* was asked, you know he’d be proud.

With appreciation to Johnny Horton
