Dear Henry, Peter, Andrew, Richard, Matthew, Benjamin
As members and past members of this ignominious team
I write to you to apologise for the mess we're in
This holding pattern of defeat on defeat on defeat
And though I've done my best it feels like
We
Tried
And we fought the good fight, every single night
And luck well we had none
Don't know what I could have done
I just think the time has come
To step aside
To leave
So this will be the last time that I write to you or slur
Glory to the team and to all those who sail in her
Remember all the floodlit nights and pyrrhic victories
Remember all the lives we changed, or thought we changed at least
But like Keanu Reeves says
Pain heals
Chicks dig scars
Glory lasts forever
Pain heals
Girls like scars
Glory lasts forever
Please accept
my reluctant
though necessary
resignation
