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
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
Cricket can be very slow
ReplyDeleteI normally choose not to go.....
But this match sounds rather rude
And I'm left thinking its sorta crude!
That's Not Cricket!
ReplyDeleteWillie 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.
How come
ReplyDeletethat I howl
when I get bowled?
Beware of
Bowled Ball Syndrom!

I don't know about cricket
ReplyDeleteCouldn'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 ...
ReplyDeleteIf 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".
I don't know about cricket
ReplyDeleteBut my croquet wicket
Is somewhere in the thicket
When nobody's looking
Maybe I'll kick it!
Whether Sachin, Waugh, Dhoni, or Ponting
ReplyDeleteThe 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
