Howzat

One day I thought I’d like to be a
cricketer
So to the park I took a little stroll
I saw a cricket match
The first one in my patch
I thought I knew the proper way to bowl
One young man he knew the way to
bat a bit
He hit the ball so wonderfully high
I saw it there
Right up in the air
Looked like sticking to the sky
I stood watching it just above my head
Come away from under it everybody
said
But I knew how to catch it
All about it I had read
In a penny little book I bought
With my eyes shut tight
And my mouth open wide
I felt a kind of earthquake
I thought I should have died
They never got the ball out of my inside
Howzat, well caught
