“T-rugby or more simply – Trugby” by Martin Anton Smith

I have a new idea “Tea Rugby”. It’s like normal Rugby, but at any moment a player can say “Tea!”. After the cry of “Tea” then play immediately stops & a very big Tea urn is brought out on wheels to where the last play was. The players then have cups of tea handed out to them (in order of total caps played). After the last man finishes the last bit of tea, play resumes with the players returning to their same individual spots as when the cry of “Tea” first went up. It’s kind of a twist on the Basketball “time out” – this is a “Tea out”. The English will love this new idea!

P.S. The amount of “Tea Outs” is only limited to the total tea that is on hand at the particular venue of that particular game.

P.P.S There will be a prize for the player with the “least dirt on his jersey”, & another for the player that “touches the ball the least”

P.P.S If the Tea runs out mid-pour for any of the players, this means it is a “free for all” & whichever team/player gets to the ball first (which is placed at the last point of play) can use it to score a try – with no regard given for the former player positioning when “Tea” was called.

A Poem By Martin Anton Smith martinantonsmith@gmail.com

The Yoinkdollar Is Not A Crypto Scam

The Yoinkdollar Is Not A Currency Per Se

The Yoinkdollar is Not A Precious Metal

The Yoinkdollar Is Not An Electronic Transfer

The Yoinkdollar is Simply An Expression

Of How Some Honest Lucrative Normal Money Was Made

More Specifically the ‘Yoinkdollar’, As I Have Coined It

The Yoinkdollar Is Associated With Good Luck Or Windfall

And In Its Wider Definition Also Involves Physical Theatrics

It Therefore MUST Be Only Involve Cash Payment

As Theatrics & Eletronic Payments Don’t Tend To Mix Well.

You Definitely Cannot Say “Yoink” To A Computer Screen

Some Wag Might Call The Yoinkdollar

An Instance of getting ‘Easy Money’

I Would Disagree And I As The Creator Of The Term

I Would Say The Yoinkdollar Is At Base This:

The Nexus Of Good Trade, Good Luck & Good Comedy-

Let Me Explain Further Detail My Good Fellows

Who Have Gathered Here Today In Your Multitudes

To Learn Some Exciting “Yoinkdollar Theory”

Let Me Now Continue This Spritely Informative Education

Yes The Yoinkdollar Is A Lucrative Trade BUT

The Trade Is Done In the Real Economy

That Of Creating NEW Goods & Services

Thus, It Has A Large Egalitarian Component

The Simplest Way Is A Simple Real World Example

For Example: I Did The Dishes For Old Lady Doris

It Took Me 10 Minutes She Gave Me 20 Bucks

That My Friend Was The Earning Of 20 Yoinkdollars

Oh And I Forgot To Mention ‘Yoinkdollar Etiquette’

When The Goods Or Services Have Been Delivered

And The Cash Has Beed Handed Over By Doris Or David

It Is Good Manners For The Yoinkdollar Earner To Say

“Yoink”

At The Exact Moment The Cash Hits The Entrepreneurial Palm

And This Must Be Done In A Friendly Cartoon Character Like Voice

To Not Do So Is Very Bad Manners For the Yoinkdollar Trader

It Is Akin To Going To Turkey & Not Having Cup of Tea

Or An English Breakfast Tea In Ye Olde England

Or It Is Like Drinking Earl Grey Tea & Not Knowing

That Bergamot Is The Key Flavonoid

And Now This Lecture Is Over

Thankyou For Listening To My Poem Slash Exposè

On the Soon To Be Almightily Popular “Yoinkdollar”

Do Try It AT LEAST Once – It’s A Lot Of Fun.

You’ll Help Make Goodness Bloom Aplenty

Earn It Freely & Don’t Forget To Say “Yoink”

When Cash Is Tendered & Hits Your Outstretched Palm

Do Try It AT LEAST Once – It’s More Than A Lot Of Fun.
