Cricket is a game of love
Full of puns and innuendo
As a lass I’d love to bowl you over
By having you a maiden over
A couple of opening googlies
Spin balls should do the trick
Middle of the over adds
Two chesty bouncers to the mix
Fifth could be an angler
To draw a lovely catch
Sixth ball to earn a maiden over
What else but a full toss
Just to finish me off
Now all I need to know
With a six dot ball over
Have I won my maiden over
Tried installing spring on my computer, must be some kind of glitch
“NOT AVAILABLE IN YOUR AREA” may be pushing the wrong switch
Restarted and the same thing appeared
What a gigantic big pain in the rear
WHEN? I shout as my enormous googlies start to twitch
