OK, unless you're British or Australian, forget it. Had great fun writing this one, January 2011.
Back to back Ashes
There's dust on the pitch
Is this the start of
A seven year itch?
Australia are beaten
Battered and bruised
Whilst dear old England
Is highly amused
Ponting's li'l finger
Has suffered a break
He should have retired
Now there's a mistake
Who would have thought it
The Aussies can't bat
They don't bowl well either
How funny's that?
By keeping things simple
We won by the book
Who needs a barbie
With a talented Cook?
Our accurate swinging
Laid rest to their hopes
The fat lady's singing
"So long, Aussie dopes!"
Just in case you're interested, the Cook in question is Alastair Cook, England's Test Match opening batsman who scored the second highest number of runs by an Englishman ever, during an Ashes series in Australia. Ponting, is Ricky Ponting, Australia's long-serving, and somewhat undisciplined, captain.
