The new rookie better than nookie

Only the very young & very beautiful can be so aloof

Hanging out with the boys all swagger & poise

Our new dashing wannabe tyro is ample proof 

(coined by Tom with aplomb.. purloined by me)


Mused Caribbean calypso cool fused with well private school

Cherished plush rhapsodies segue with relished lush melodies

Lips licks fancy flicks & tricks picnics phoenix from the Ashes

Remedies for believers lulled by lullabies from lyrical levers


Poetic shapes lacy lines never frenetic balletic aesthetic

The boundary rope dope trope Jacob is our new hope

The computer says “YES” suitor for the future prophetic


Or down with the kids well Bethell’s the real deal rookie

Badgers hearts swell feels like proper Test cricket nookie

Tell his chilled southpaw drawer got more than Cookie

While other than Joe everyone else was playing hooky

Golden curls & olden twirls.. BET HELL for the bookie
