The cricket match

Its only a laugh its just for fun,
its ladies versus the men,
but we know it`s not about loosing,
our aim is to try and beat them!

We had to admit the men were good,
As we began to feel tired and forlorn,
so we shouted "the sun is in our eyes"
and the pitch is bumpy and worn!

We were all out and the men were on,
to them this was serious cricket,
they weren`t going to let us girlies,
whip the bail from off their wicket.

Now Cathy bowled a perfect length,
her hubby decided to run,
Johnathon swiped with all of his might
and was caught at silly mid on.

It looked like this was the mens game,
as we wilted and glowed in the heat,
only one thing now left to do,
us girls would just have to cheat.

They tried to wack us for a four and a six
but we had the advantage as wives,
we casually mentioned about something they liked
that would be missing soon from their lives.

So just when the men looked set to win,
and beating our 74,
their batting order suddenly collapsed
without adding a run to their score.


Howz that!!!
