Verse And Worse

Random Wit, Errant Rhyme. Not A Literary Crime

Such a gentle pursuit is the game of cricket
You bowl the ball but never kick it
If you get a googly and just can’t pick it
Coarse mid-wicket will tell ya where to stick it

  1. Cricket can be very slow
    I normally choose not to go.....
    But this match sounds rather rude
    And I'm left thinking its sorta crude!

    That's Not Cricket!

    Willie got the cricket ball
    And gave it quite a whack,
    It smacked Mr. Pederman
    In the middle of the back.

    Someone call the doctor,
    Someone call the nurse,
    Someone call an ambulance,
    Someone call a hearse.

    Pederman got angry.
    Pederman got mad.
    Then Pederman got even,
    And Willie's lookin' sad.

    Someone call the doctor,
    Someone call the nurse,
    Someone call an ambulance,
    Someone call a hearse.

  3. How come
    that I howl
    when I get bowled?
    Beware of
    Bowled Ball Syndrom!
    ;-)

  4. I don't know about cricket
    Couldn't even care less
    Because here in the states
    It doesn't have much success

    Ten years in the Antipodes left me with a fondness for cricket. But I've always wondered ...

    If you're going to call a game "cricket", why don't you have other games called "beetle" or "dragonfly"?

    And if you're going to call the winter sport "soccer", wouldn't it have made sent to call the summer sport "bowler"?

    Then again, you'd probably think you had cause to believe that only Yankee low lifes play "baseball".

  6. I don't know about cricket
    But my croquet wicket
    Is somewhere in the thicket
    When nobody's looking
    Maybe I'll kick it!

  7. Whether Sachin, Waugh, Dhoni, or Ponting
    The rules for cricket say a coin is wanting
    High up in the air the skipper does it toss
    That likely decides who's gain it is, and who's loss
