Oz Kewell in Ghana heat– Ghana 1-1 Australia

In the Rustenberg cauldron
Verbeek’s men didn’t wilt
Australia drew first blood
Looking refreshed and rebuilt

From Bresciano’s set piece
Kingson’s free kick bobbler
Gift wrapped with bow tie
Holman the thankful gobbler

Harry Kewell sent to the stands
Goal line usage of the upper arm
“The referee has killed my World Cup."
Said Harry with bizarre alarm

Gyan composed and assured
Spot kick hammered with guarantee
Tried in vain for a winner
Still the Black Stars top Group D
