Middle Wicket In Swinger

I don’t remember much of my days at school
But one thing sticks in my head
I hit my teacher in the nuts with a cricket ball
And he fell down like he was dead.

I really didn’t mean to, i was trying to win
And I just felt extremely sorry
But the whole of my class just laughed at him
As paramedics carried him off on a trolley

He was away for weeks and it was all round school
That one of his nuts was removed
All of my mates thought I was really cool
i just  hoped that it all wasn't true

When Sir came back, he really got teased
My class just wouldn’t shut up
But he stood proudly, and with quite some ease
Said “Guys it’s true, I’ve lost a nut”

The dinner bell rang but I stayed behind
I wanted to make amends
I said “sorry sir” he said “that’s alright,
Now go and have lunch with your friends.”

“It was an accident” he said “don’t blame yourself”
I breathed easy but did not answer
“You actually did me a favour” he said
“They’ve found out that I have Cancer.”

“I’m having some treatment, and putting up a good fight”
He said as I picked my bag from the floor
“And all coz your bowling swings to the right”
He said smiling, as I opened the door

“I may never have noticed myself” he said
“Thanks to you, I’ll be OK”
“That’s good" I said "I’m really glad.”
Then I grinned as I walked away.

My time at school ended a few months later
And I haven’t seen that teacher since
But I hear he’s getting married soon
And has plans on having some kids.

Testicular Cancer can be successfully treated
If it is detected early enough
So don’t be shy boys, shove you’re hand in your pants
And have a good feel of your nuts!
