Poem Title:
Poem
Lovingly lauded.. they marauded.. rightly applauded Saffa gaffers did thrill Willow wielding wizards of Oz Yielding…lampooned..marooned..jaffas Festooned spill just like Seville . Must remember..the ember burning Yearning of Temba Bavuma Kept his sense of humour Despite being the victim of flimsy whimsy Many a nasty rumour I implore you to ignore the tumour That is Michael Vaughan…dim..grim Pompous pig or obnoxious prig Having a dig..more clickbait hate p**n Unsung and hamstrung..stoic heroic Temba has brung salvation for a nation With no Cronje bung.. The only stifling snub Hell bent pundits in pulpits scream Not just trifling .. no defending the Saffa culprits Blunder of sending a sub par side Alright trite s**e team down under.. Only one man stood sentry…Aidan Markram..often ignored.. Even deplored…a national pastime…his crime Not being as sublime as in his teenage prime But such touch..much gumption & grit Did his bit…hit a century Sod the rest…now a cricketing god Against the odds.. has always saved His Test best for the Aussie conquest.. No longer a sinner…the match winner.. Only one other Saffa..biff Smith’s Scored more second innings tons.. They did vanquish their perpetual anguish Their hullabaloo..voodoo..ending The choke complex.. the hex hoodoo.. No longer Bill Murray day of the groundhog Finally went the way of the underdog.. So Aidan and Temba we will always remember when You gave South African Cricket their own Homegrown ticket to the 25th of December.. Has been glummer.. Gory…still got the bummer Of no tests in their upcoming home summer But this a story of glory Not being woke…not about race The colour of his face In history Temba Bavuma with such grace The best ever test run chase at Lords Nabbed his place…as the bespoke bloke & ace Who broke the finals choke & grabbed the golden mace..
