Next I write, We hunt the ball together. And lose in any weather.

I see a problem with that, so I change lose to win and add,

We’ll go on dates together!

Which might give people the wrong idea – so I alter that line to read,

We’ll stay mates forever.

And I simply finish off with …

We are the Seaport super Sharks!

Then I add The End, Written by Eddie Lyall Harold Atlas, finish the jellybeans, pick up the cuttlefish, and go home.

Job done!

Chapter Nine

At training on Tuesday I give a copy of my team song to Mitch, who will show it to President Peacock.

‘That’s great, Eddie,’ Mitch says. ‘We’ll sing it on Saturday after our big win.’

We don’t mention that if we don’t win, it will be the Sharks’ last game ever.

‘Harley and Tarkin are working on the jumpers and water problems,’ I add, seeing them arrive. ‘That still leaves us with the rabbit problem. And winning Saturday’s game.’

Mitch kneels to get a football out of a rabbit hole. He seems to have got used to wearing shoes and his golf cap.

‘We’re playing the Bully Valley Bull Ants.’ Mitch looks at me. ‘Who, as we know, won the premiership. Even if they used three players who were about twenty years old and weighed a hundred kilograms each.’

The Bull Ants are a scary team. We always take a blow-up pool shark as our mascot, but they bring a monster ant-farm full of meat-eating bull ants. If they lose, they leave them behind in the changing room, with the ant-farm gate open.
