Obviously this is not serious verse , but here is something I scribbled for fun, with IPL Cricketers in mind:
====
Your bats are bigger, and the grounds are smaller,
Overs are fewer, and yet, runs are more.
Lousy bowling and lusty hits
Have turned splendid plays, into silly skits.
Where is the depth, calibre, the nuances,
And the grandeur, that made this a great sport?
A regal game is now a sponsored circus
With all and sundry making a big ruckus.
But why should you care, when in the end,
Work is less, and Pay is more !!??
======
Its sad to see the game of gentleman
become a gambling den for everyone
Thought it was fun to watch every run
Now the big wigs of the game are on run
Wine and women seem to lure players
Where are all the legends lets say our prayers
To save this wonderful game for future generations
We need to bring the culprits and save our frustrations
