Ive grown a goitre by dwelling in this denndash As cats from stagnant streams in Lombardy Or in what other land they hap to bendash Which drives the belly close beneath the chin
My beard turns up to heaven my nape falls inFixed on my spine my breast-bone visibly Grows like a harp a rich embroidery Bedews my face from brush-drops thick and thin
My loins into my paunch like levers grind My buttock like a crupper bears my weight My feet unguided wander to and fro
In front my skin grows loose and long behindBy bending it becomes more taut and straitCrosswise I strain me like a Syrian bowWhence false and quaint I know
Must be the fruit of squinting brain and eyeFor ill can aim the gun that bends awry Come then Giovanni try To succour my dead pictures and my fame Since foul I fare and painting is my shame

My beard turns up to heaven my nape falls inFixed on my spine my breast-bone visibly Grows like a harp a rich embroidery Bedews my face from brush-drops thick and thin
My loins into my paunch like levers grind My buttock like a crupper bears my weight My feet unguided wander to and fro
In front my skin grows loose and long behindBy bending it becomes more taut and straitCrosswise I strain me like a Syrian bowWhence false and quaint I know
Must be the fruit of squinting brain and eyeFor ill can aim the gun that bends awry Come then Giovanni try To succour my dead pictures and my fame Since foul I fare and painting is my shame

My loins into my paunch like levers grind My buttock like a crupper bears my weight My feet unguided wander to and fro
In front my skin grows loose and long behindBy bending it becomes more taut and straitCrosswise I strain me like a Syrian bowWhence false and quaint I know

My loins into my paunch like levers grind My buttock like a crupper bears my weight My feet unguided wander to and fro
In front my skin grows loose and long behindBy bending it becomes more taut and straitCrosswise I strain me like a Syrian bowWhence false and quaint I know

My beard turns up to heaven my nape falls inFixed on my spine my breast-bone visibly Grows like a harp a rich embroidery Bedews my face from brush-drops thick and thin
My loins into my paunch like levers grind My buttock like a crupper bears my weight My feet unguided wander to and fro
In front my skin grows loose and long behindBy bending it becomes more taut and straitCrosswise I strain me like a Syrian bowWhence false and quaint I know
Must be the fruit of squinting brain and eyeFor ill can aim the gun that bends awry Come then Giovanni try To succour my dead pictures and my fame Since foul I fare and painting is my shame

Ive grown a goitre by dwelling in this denndash As cats from stagnant streams in Lombardy Or in what other land they hap to bendash Which drives the belly close beneath the chin
My beard turns up to heaven my nape falls inFixed on my spine my breast-bone visibly Grows like a harp a rich embroidery Bedews my face from brush-drops thick and thin
My loins into my paunch like levers grind My buttock like a crupper bears my weight My feet unguided wander to and fro
In front my skin grows loose and long behindBy bending it becomes more taut and straitCrosswise I strain me like a Syrian bowWhence false and quaint I know
Must be the fruit of squinting brain and eyeFor ill can aim the gun that bends awry Come then Giovanni try To succour my dead pictures and my fame Since foul I fare and painting is my shame

the 1970 Mexico World Cup qualifiers in Mozambique members of the X including Warren consulted a witch doctor preceding their game The witch doctor buried bones near the goal-posts and cursed the opposition and X went on to beat 3ndash1 in the decider However the witch doctor placed a curse on X when the players could not come up with the pound1000 demanded by him Subsequently X failed to beat Israel and did not qualify

10bull In a story told in Johnny Warrens 2002 autobiography during a trip to play against Rhodesia in
the 1970 Mexico World Cup qualifiers in Mozambique members of the X including Warren consulted a witch doctor preceding their game The witch doctor buried bones near the goal-posts and cursed the opposition and X went on to beat 3ndash1 in the decider However the witch doctor placed a curse on X when the players could not come up with the pound1000 demanded by him Subsequently X failed to beat Israel and did not qualify
bull X did however appear in the 1974 FIFA World Cup after the supposed curse had been placed However they failed to score a goal in any of their three opening round matches and were eliminated
bull Whilst the curse is used as an explanation for failing to qualify for the World Cup for 32 years it is used in particular reference to the failure to qualify for the 1998 World Cup by drawing on aggregate against Iran despite leading 2ndash0 in the second half of the final match of qualification
bull The curse was supposedly lifted by John Safran during his 2004 TV series John Safran vs God After reading the story in Warrens book Safran travelled to Mozambique and hired a new witch doctor to channel the original to reverse the curse The following year the X qualified for the 2006 World Cup
