ENTANGLEMENT
To do my best
With bat and ball
From twelve o'clock
Till evenfall;
Maintain a length,
Avoid a blob,
Is what I call
An English job.

When days are gold
And turf is prime,
When Fours are hit
In summertime,
My head, as though
The game were done,
Begins to rhyme
For me in fun.

Though Captain Work
Must have me wear
Afresh for him
That pinchy pair
Of breadtime shoes,
Remembrance comes,
To sweeten care,
With sugarplums.

Do what I will
To disarray
The mental sprites
I cannot stay,
These bring the match
Not rightly due
Till Saturday,
And play it through!
