Just Ain’t Cricket!

With home made bat
and tennis ball,
wickets chalked upon the wall
Freddie Truman
takes his aim
blasting the novice batsman’s game.
“OWZAT!!”
screams Freddie
“c’mon yer out”

“No I ain’t,”
I say, with a pout
“it never ‘it the bloomin’ wicket.
c’mon Podge this ain’t cricket!”

Podge stares me out
with steely smile.
“LBW by a mile!”
I throw the bat onto the floor
“ I ain’t playin’ with you no more
LBW! Just ain’t fair
play with Degs you mangy cur!”
I’m just a girl
but I ain’t no fool!
You just made up
that stupid rule!”
