Eyes fixed ahead,
Tightly clenched hands
You watch it run by run
Ball by ball
Shouting, cheering, jeering,
and snarling
When we mention
your obsessive absurdity
bored, we squirm and fidget
As we curse your affinity
To the game of cricket!

ReplyDelete:) Or if we can't change them, we might as well join them in all the shouting, cheering, jeering, and snarling.

ReplyDelete@alphabetworld - Good for you ! I have very little patience for the cricket crazy Indian !
