With home made bat
and tennis ball,
wickets chalked upon the wall
Freddie Truman
takes his aim
blasting the novice batsman’s game.
“OWZAT!!”
screams Freddie
“c’mon yer out”
“No I ain’t,”
I say, with a pout
“it never ‘it the bloomin’ wicket.
c’mon Podge this ain’t cricket!”
Podge stares me out
with steely smile.
“LBW by a mile!”
I throw the bat onto the floor
“ I ain’t playin’ with you no more
LBW! Just ain’t fair
play with Degs you mangy cur!”
I’m just a girl
but I ain’t no fool!
You just made up
that stupid rule!”
