hurled his eyes on me
painted me with his tongue
shot at me with his fingers
then the devil hurried in
to pick and wrap the spoils
Gender catch
MOM in short stands for Man of the Match,
POM a prize, female players may fetch.
Ye better careful be,
World's touchy, fidgety,
Be safe and concede no easy catch.
____________________________________
In today’s times one need be politically, gender correct, and correct in so many ways. A lady chairman is a chairperson. Never say actress; actor will do for both. Similarly in cricket, the counterpart of Man of the Match (MOM) is Player of the Match (POM). In today’s times, package matters more than contents. It is style, not substance; not just right, you must be seen to be right.
