off to first day at
the Test today
man against media
consumer against monopoly
we're hoping for a spot
in the shade
wearing our sunblock
our collared shirts
and a laconic grin
should the opening bat
depart early
of course being Members
we won't wave
and the heckling
will be of
the gentlemenly persuasion
but it's the WACA pitch
so the bounce should be
early and fierce
I'm all fired up
with memories
of Thommo and Lillee
on the same wicket
(Lillee's chairmen now,
diplomatic and cool)
they search our eskies at the gate -
C'mon, mate, we could
lose our favourite seats
the ones behind wicket
with just enough angle
to see if the ball's swinging
a day at the cricket
or a Keith Jarrett concert?
my wife tempts me ...
just pass the sunblock, love,
and I'm off ... See ya ...
