Lord's hitch the pitch does bewitch


We are often sold it is cricket’s true home

The gold tapestry we toast hallowed tome

Legends ghost last post told free to roam


Groundsmen boast on outfield wield a comb

Host should do a search on Google chrome 

Would yield the strip is most about the loam


Frippery and filigree are so suitably kitsch 

Coiffured rest of ground then got a stitch?

Eating kedgeree no pedigree critics snitch

Pundits pounce the bounce does bewitch


Batters flounce in tatters is a serious hitch

Not a titch moves alot watch them twitch

Trounce the culprits it is time for a switch

Not in pulpits being a bit*h MCC’s so rich 

Scratch fans itch give us a Test match pitch
