A Nursery Rhyme for Modern Times
Humpty Dumpty bowled a no-ball
The batsman who hit it was a know-all
He socked it, and it flew like a rocket,
And in the process he lined his pocket
Humpty went back and tucked in his towel,
and
came roaring back again
With the same result,
And lakhs worth of ‘gain’
Now Humpty adjusted his wrist band
And it was a signal to the bookie in the
stand
Who used it to make bets he won,
To him it proved to be a magic wand
Alas, there was a cop in it too
Watching the funny things that these guys
would do
And when it came tumbling out,
The game was over, barring the shout.
