Grey haired men
Huddled
by WACA gates
He is risen
He is risen!
Show us the chosen one!
There is no room
at the inn?
Come back
Shrove Tuesday?
But he will ascend
by Sunday
We were doubters once
Mocked the holes
in his hands
Dropped that sitter
at Lords
Thomas called you
a hole
In our side
and hearts
Thrice denied
Now strutting rooster
Your cock
has crowed
Jericho
then Jonathan
Crumbled
before you
Armies mocked you
With trumpeters
siren songs
Calling you
to their new Jerusalem
But you are
our Saviour
Nazareth (Qld)
just past Townsville
We
your chosen race
Bow down
before you
Crooked
made straight
Poms
made low
Rough
made smooth
Reverse swing?
Regards
Judas
PB – I kneel before our Saviour, St MItchell, and beat my chest:
mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.
Peter- Of course Christian imagery marries perfectly with cricket, and especially Mitchell Johnson! Lots of really clever lines, my favourite being
But you are
our Saviour
