Norman Rowland Gale (Норман Гейл)
The Church Cricketant
I bowled three sanctified souls With three consecutive balls! What do I care if Blondin trod Over Niagara Falls? What do I care for the loon in the Pit Or the gilded earl in the Stalls? I bowled three curates once With three consecutive balls! I caused three Protestant 'ducks' With three consecutive balls! Poets may rave of lily girls Dancing in marble halls! What do I care for a bevy of yachts, Or a dozen or so of yawls? I bowled three curates once With three consecutive balls! I bowled three cricketing priests With three consecutive balls! What if a critic pounds a book, What if an author squalls? What do I care if sciatica comes, Elephantiasis calls? I bowled three curates once With three consecutive balls!
