Matinee Muse prompt #5 ~ Spirit of the Underdog

A lonely brown bottle
Lingering in a
Plain
Torn
Paperbag
On a
Shadowed
Empty
Table
Deep
In
The weeping hours of
A chilly
Sunday morning
Is like
A relic ~
A small
Small
Requiem to
The spirit of
The underdog

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Great photo essay and poem. It's hard to think chilly when we're watching Tropical Storm Fay move into Florida.
So many underdogs - I think everyone has a bottle stashed away for that victory celebration they just never seem to achieve.
Hard to imagine a bottle of champagne in a brown bag on a picnic table, a definite sign of class, I like 'spirit of the underdog', it's a little sad.
