A REBUKE
Let be! Let be!
Our Cricket Team is chosen
For the Testing oversea.
Why call Selectors donkey-men
Because you miss a name or two?
In other words, old Grumbler,
Let me recommend to you
Less vinegared a view.

The men have proved their fitness
To the sovereign M.C.C.
I question if the Motherland
Has finer all-round worth to send.
In any case, Old Grumbler,
It is sporting to defend
The Team you cannot mend.

Agree! Agree
To join me in a gamble
For a little L.S.D.!
A paper pound against a pound
In paper that our heroes bring
The Ashes back, Old Grumbler,
From the fifth and final Ring
To England in the Spring!
