Ripsnorter to slaughter

The Ashes clashes are a proper Proustian transporter

Wrestle in the showstopper Aussies pestle & mortar

Faustian deal came a cropper couldn't be fraughter

Our fielders run ragged like some poor market porter

From table topper ripsnorter glory to gory slaughter

Wizard of Oz magic seen in this Baggie Green backwater

For us tragic end as mean as Lean's epic Ryan's Daughter
