Adored Lord Broad

Let's applaud our 

Adored Lord Broad

Fame and awards

Crossing swords &

Bossing visiting hordes 

Name in the frame

On Lords boards


Cooing..wasn't it grand

Tanned boy with headband

Wooing the fanned stand


No wonder we're so fond

Of this towering..glowering

Powering flowering blonde


Plumping for knees pumping

Hearts a jumping

All a flutter

Tub thumping

Jaffas he's a scrumping

Utter bowling nutter


Batters in tatters

On the ropes

Slain with disdain

Hopes in vain

Dope tropes

Broad roared

Insane hurricane

Yet again


That strength of fine

Alright divine

Line and length

Vertiginous delight

Prodigious insight


Canny..crafty will 

Log in to his noggin

Didactic tactic thrill

Found going round 

Was gravy..on the money

Crowned genius genesis

Hefty lefty nemesis

Davy Warner..his bunny


Gladly listened to Hadlee

Took note of what 

The Goat did float

Shorten your run son

Well must embellish

Relish to hone

To still cherish..own the throne


With Jimmy his friend

Found at their home grown ground

Got their own eponymous end


Game's pantomime dame

If everything else fails

Wrist twist of the bails

Burning beacon flame


What a gusto way to go

For our dearly loved maestro

Bravado even braggadocio

Willy Wonka winning ticket


Plucky...jammy...lucky

Hero cheerio double whammy

As Broad encored..


Last ball bowled..got a wicket

Last ball faced for 6 did flick it


Helluva a way

For our stellar fella

To say goodbye 

To Test cricket
