Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy

Jimmy put the mighty back in Blighty

Our riper sniper

Viper and pied piper

Didn't want to budge

Depravity of sporting gravity


But given the nudge

So off he did trudge

Issue won't fudge

Still got a grudge


The king of swing..conker on a string

Chestnuts curve...swerve with such verve

You rarely see him hobble our wizard of wobble


Still wiry and fiery...fit as a fiddle so he can 

Continue his riddle out in the middle

Definitely more Harrods than Lidl


It seems unfair the flair.. his control in the air

Precision of a physician...our own homegrown musician 

Magician keeping alive a glorious past tradition


With his own fantastic rendition

But Selector Trifecta Sedition

Means we've seen the last edition


Humdinger....swinger...gunslinger

Bellicose blows..predicts & inflicts woes on his foes

Audacious soul...born to bowl 

Continues to rage..this sage you can't cage


Yearns to still be on the ultimate stage

Despite...or to slight...in spite of his age

Well why should it encumber..its only a number  


Like losing an olden golden friend

We will never ever see his like again

Final fix of his bag of tricks

Reminds me of the Matrix


Masterly plan of this remarkable man

So smooth..sublime

Divinely refined

In the groove..prime grace


Our forever adored Time Lord

Who could bend even space

Ah Mr Anderson
