Old Timer Rhymer Poet Free verse

Banana skin of spin Saffa Nirvana and Indian Manana

So where do we begin

The din of Indian chagrin

Subcontinent cardinal sin 

Forgot how to play spin

Incontinent rot no Ashwin

Saffas got under their skin!


So no Mo Shami or Ishant Sharma

Double whammy now not so jammy


What about Obama calmer karma

Back from Kolpak leader of pack

Is it Heaven or E17 got a stack

Right armer & mockney charmer


Winning grinning skinning spinning attack

Slaying & flaying while playing Simon Says

Avenge those tears from 10 years ago..revenge

Wicket farmer yep cheers Essex’s Mr Harmer


Remember Temba inspired fired the ember

First place won the race for the WTC mace

Dream team scheme everyone a member

And even without their gilded pace ace


No KG Rabada in the Saffa Jaffa Gaffer speed larder

Need 2 metre maneater Marco like Rafa to try harder


Latest greatest tyro narco pyro in the stellar fella Armada

Sneaky hoarder Marco Polo or cheeky marauder Hans Solo 

Tip top tourer run scorer tall all thriller no filler..Torquemada 

Raw pure southpaw land of the other hand flotilla of Jansen

Saffa’s new slick quick pillar..serial killer like Charles Manson


Let’s end where we did begin..Indian cupboard is rather bare

One savvy Ravi left.. bereft one pace pair with flair through the air

No Ashwin through thick & thin.. slipped on banana skin of spin

Another bish bash bosh whitewash after that Kiwi yippee nirvana

Can still hear the din within of that chagrin at the mandarins sins

Ire..greats retire entire empire on funeral pyre fire - Sinara it's Manana!
