CLASSIC

Look at him!
Six feet one,
Nervously taut,
Aching to do
All that he ought.
Look at him!
Flannelled fire
Burning the loud
Ranks of a great
Cricketing crowd.
Look at him!
Fathered well,
Driven by blood
Redder than Time
Lent to a Studd.
Look at him!
Never a lad
History knows
Ran as he runs,
Threw as he throws.
