Ben Stokes Stoic Martyr and Heroic Firestarter


Dare to dream Ashes nightmares it seems reawoken

Token words spoken after scares & flares teams broken 


Dafter peacocking then rocking no blocking just shocking

Mocking laughter of the ghost of Christmas future knocking


Host boast from coast to coast toast as England roast

Boiling..recoiling..toiling & broiling this is our last post


Our iridescent flaming proper copper haired laird

Incandescent flairs no taming his despairs we all shared

Luminescent cares blaming Bazball heirs ill prepared scared 


Stoic brawler our defiant mauler on a leaking reeking trawler

Too reliant on our brilliant defiant resilient glowering giant 


Big Ben set up camp crippled by his men again & ripples of cramp

Overpowering pain courses through every vein towering skipper & champ


Heart on his sleeve…makes us believe in a reprieve heroic Firestarter 

Immensity of intensity.. O Captain my Captain..our smarter martyr
