| 1 | This line is the champion |
| 2 | This line's the runner-up |
| 3 | This one and the next one made |
| 4 | The poetry champions' cup |
| 5 | The fifth line's rhymes have fallen short |
| 6 | The sixth line too missed out |
| 7 | The seventh and eighth lines never really |
| 8 | Were in with a shout |
| 9 | This line's rubbish rhythm made |
| 10 | A mediocre season |
| 11 | This line started well but fell |
| 12 | For no apparent reason |
| 13 | Line thirteen blamed the referees |
| 14 | Line fourteen had bad luck |
| 15 | The fifteenth line was doing fine |
| 16 | Until those injuries struck |
| 17 | Below this line is doomed to play |
| 18 | In the second verse next year |
| 19 | The bottom lines had torrid times |
| 20 | Bringing up the rear |
