O Monty, O Monty, O what have you done?

You huffed and you puffed and then chose . . . Harrington!

Didn’t anyone tell you what the rest of us knew –

His recent Cup record is 0-7-2.

Surely, O Monty, you will someday disclose

Just why you passed over both Casey and Rose.

As for the selection of Signor Molinari . . .

That was either pure genius, or plain hari-kari.    

Captain Montgomery, permit me to say

You’ve won many new fans in the U. S. of A.

As the matches approach, we try not to savor it

But in one swell goof you have made us the favorite.
