Cricket

Can one be embarrassed by that dialectical bias 

expressed in doggerel suggesting - you can’t be 

aware what we’re really talking about: as if we’d 

care you’re feeling that vulnerable - but where a 

case exists to make the play, a game’s still what 

motivates all these ploys to commentate like the 

rawest patriot - but its Cricket, xenophobic in it’s 

worst proclivity: plus this is the World Cup mate 

So the haze of innuendo dribbles into a plasmic 

mass of crass balderdash they really believe’s a 

true and accurate picture of a game imagined in 

their fondest dementia; oh, need I explain we’re 

listening to the radio - where the nationality of a 

sportscaster blares like pretentious patriotism
