I was 12 years old people, when I was so crazy about cricket that I even ended up writing a poem. So here it is, my only work of poetry.
In Love with Cricket
Oh, Cricket is a spectacular game,
I fall into a trance when i hear its name,
If i were given a bat and the bowler a ball,
I'd make a score big and tall.
If i were granted a boon for Boon,
To play superbly,I'd surely swoon,
I'd like to represent my country,
And go an test debut and hit a century.
And even in my one day debut,
I think i'll hit a century too.
I may become a spinner,
Since he always turns out to be a winner,
I really like to bowl a yorker,
Which now isn't bowled by Prabhakar.
I could tryout a beamer,
Or who knows? - may be the seamer,
I can bowl the out and in-swinger,
And i could invent an on-swinger.
That's it from me, the little don,
Ans may cricket continue for eons.
PS: I was 'little' back then.. :P
