BIG BROTHER
Don't apologize for turning
From the Latin you are learning
To the Oval! Go on burning
To become a Surrey Bat!
Kept in funds by being single,
I'm prepared with yours to mingle
Cash to subsidize the tingle
You demand. So that is that.

All my cronies in committee
Vote to save you from a gritty
Set of Chambers in the City
And my partner does the same;
For we want that pair of shoulders,
On a greener Green than Golders,
Soon to mesmerize upholders
Of the game that's twice a game.

None has ever seen a fitter
Boy to broaden and to glitter
As a neck-or-nothing hitter
With a quantum of defence;
But, remember that a body
Quickly turns to human shoddy
If the soul's a dud. Well, Roddy,
Can you bank on Sober Sense?

Right! The Colt who would be colting
Is a youngster now revolting
From hexameters and jolting
Julius Caesar on the point.
Far from booky Rome and Greece's
Verbs that have so many pieces,
Here he dedicates to creases
Every sinew, every joint.

Off you go!—a flannelled rover
Till the Cricket Season's over,
When our business branch at Dover,
Rightly famous in the Port,
Will disclose the worth of bending
Grave above your desk and spending
On a job in need of mending
Care as though itself a sport.
