C J Dennis - Leg Theory
Work rating: Low

Oh, what a pleasant game is life
   When we are bravely batting
And glorying in skill and strife.
   We scorn defensive patting
As Fate sends down the easy ones
   We set the ball a-soaring
Straight to the fence and pile up runs
   And go on scoring, scoring.

A week it lasts, a month, a year -
   Ten years if luck holds steady
No crafty trick may wake our fear,
   For every move we`re ready
No matter how the ball is bumped.
   We are so sure, so clever
We can`t be caught or bowled or stumped
   We`re set!  We`re in forever!

But comes a time, as I have found,
   When in our carefree playing,
Life`s game in this vast cricket ground
   Grows suddenly dismaying.
Just as we think we`re set to peg
   Away, thro` centuries rolling,
Fate shifts his fieldsmen to the leg
   And starts in body bowling!
