Ashes Flashes

Baggy green pledge..be mean one could allege 

New depths seen to dredge vent spleen sledge

Obscene lexicon ledge to get that slight edge


What do you know here we go first blow

Folks well blokes pokes jokes at Stokes

Campaigner entertainer a cocky complainer


Yawn..forlorn well worn scorn of Kiwi born

Ropey guff about Bazball stuff being dopey

Out of whack flak attack now back on track

Aussie stacks of hacks on a have a go retainer


Haven’t forgotten when Jonny went Rotten

Lost his cool in that whole Lord’s Baz brawl

When Ben’s mens’ gall did enthrall and appall


So one trite slight after another in a row

In a cruel crow from our oldest coldest foe

They bestow their woe of “average Joe”


Get snooty about the beauty of our Rooty

Get fruity saying our defender’s a pretender

Won’t ever get one booty ton while on Oz duty

Just what you’d predict from a convict offender


You wait mate..till your guest & great contender for 

Crest of Test best goes on a big spender bender
