All Hail Dearest Lions...!!( a Tribute To the Srilankan Cricket Team)

All hail! dearst Lions; 
From the land of peace
Who plays the Gentlemens' game...
They play for our land,
To make us all proud
Not for money or not for the fame..
Who made thou skins?
So tough and strong
And hearts so calm and mild..
You attack them all
With the bat and the ball,
You make them loose and wild..
All hail dearst SANGA, 
The great captain
The sailor of the Lankan Ship...
Adore you MURALI,
And you DILSHAN
Thy bat is more like a whip...!!
AJANTHA is the hero,
And SANATH the golden name
MALINGA is the stylish boy..
MAHELA the magician,
VASS the revolution
Together you bring us Joy..!!!

Wow, Crystal, you capture my love for sports and the people who play them in this excellent write! I feel this way about several Americn teams. Wish I could see a cricket match just to learn how the game is played. It sounds a lot like baseball. Great poem! Love, Carolyn
