Remembrance - Spread Me Around Poem by Paul Warren

Remembrance - Spread Me Around



When I die I want to be cremated
Don't bury me in a cemetery in a grief belated
Spread me on the Adelaide Oval ground
That way I'll be there when every game comes around
I will have the best view of each game
And experience each bit of the fame

I'd like to be near the northern end knoll
Where the best players kick the big goals
But they don't let people do this now
So I smuggled some of him in a now how
And during the public kick on the ground
We took him out and spread him all around.
