How can I
waste the world

Cricket

Till one day I told them to stick it
I was in at the crease
And was brought to my knees
When a googly hit me, middle wicket

As the doctors and nurses begin their day,
The cricket chirps resonate
Throughout the hallway;
as if they own all of the luck in the place.
