My Debut At Cricket

Sir Leonard Hutton famous for cricket
Idolized him yet we played in the snicket
His bat willow three springs and all
Ours a joke no umpire to call
Yet did dream of 'Lords' having took a wicket.

Harry, This is a humorous Limerick. I have tried and tried to come up with one, but I just can't. Thank you for the smiles!

congrats on the HM, Harry. I think it was for having so many syllables on lines 3 and 4 that it got counted down. It was great fun!

Hi Harry! Those who know nothing about cricket will be stumped! Luckily, for us who admire this slow but lovely game, we can enjoy the humour that comes with this write. #7 See you at the Oval:) // paul

With very deep insight you have expressed "yet did.....a wicket". Ours a joke indeed. Sir is Sir in his field of Cricket. We enjoy by idolizing him without any doubt. Lord is Lord, for His dream we are here where He plays Himself being the Umpire of Himself without missing. Excellent philosophy too. Good luck. Loved always, my lovely friend,bl
