NaPoWriMo-2024
Day-22
Prompt: To write a poem where two unlikely things have a fight. For me, T20 and TEST MATCH are two different things :D
"T20..hmmm, aah,
What a waste of talent!"
Said the Test match.
Wasting overs
In search of pennies.
The bowlers and batsmen
In colorful attires
Looking like clowns in the gutter!
Rushing adrenaline and nothing more!
Going merry go around with the highest bidders.
International players hogging the limelight
Playing for other nations. What a shame!
For the sake of brownie points.
Whatnot you are embroiled!
Drugs, match-fixing, late-night parties, and an egoistic show!
Wasted a gentlemen's game, you imbecile!!!
Hah! Scoffs T20
"What do you know about talent?"
You just strutter and preen over
On the grassy mound in your whites!
Five days wasted
Just playing defense
And not scoring any runs.
Scorching in the hot sun
With hardly any spectators
To appreciate your lazy players!
Scrubbing the ball over balls!!!
Look at me! I save time and money
My aficionados earn millions
Showing their power with a bat and a ball!
They gain fans across the word
And not stuck in their archaic hegemony!
In the 21st century
Time is money!
So, accept your fate Mr. Test Match
You are not welcome in our new world!
