The second poem I wrote in the series of 5 in an hour. Just a little touch of silliness.

Stumped!

He's out, they say

Back to the pavilion with the lad.

A bunny with the bat is all he is

Why would the captain choose him?

A failure with bat and ball.



Hasn't ever been good at anything!

Deep in depression, they say

Back on his feet is just where he can't get.

A man without hope is what he is

But the captain gave him a chance

And he leaves the pitch with a small smile.
