Lion, Badger, Eagle, Snake
All wanted more, each claimed a stake
Lion suggested they brawl to decide
but the others ignored him till he chose to subside
Badger said to everyone, we all can just share
They nodded while they laughed at her, "That sounds very fair"
Eagle just wanted a battle of wits
but the others, on hearing this, had several fits
Snake took what he wanted with stealth for his scout
then returned it again when the others found out
At a loss, the four animals just couldn't agree
So was born the House Cup competition decree
You'll all have a chance now, to show off your skill
Just beware to not foster or encourage ill will
This is meant in good humour, so be a good sport
Each of you, to your own House you'll report
Each year we'll reshuffle, and recount the score
The points will start over, said the winged boar
Winning the Cup will be quite a feat
And that House for the year, viewed as the elite
So it was started, and so it has run
As we here still continue it now, just for fun
