HILL BY MOUTH
Henry Hill
Is up one still
Up with Jack
And up with Jill
Nobody gives
A hill of beans
For this hill
Of hilly has-beens
But Clem Hill
Should have had a hill
Named after him
Called Clem Hill Hill
For a man called Hill
He made a mountain of runs
Including 99, 98, 97…
He was heading to one!
MIDWINTER’S MID-SUMMER BLUES
Billy Midwinter
Debuted in the Autumn
Changed horses midsummer
He followed the sun
Got kidnapped by Grace
Frizzy Bush and The Coroner
Taken to Surrey
Dual citizen foreigner
He sailed back and forth
Australia, England, Australia
Franchise player, mercenary?
Or the system’s failure?
His initials were WE
So he played for both sides
But he knew where his heart lay
When it was time to die.
(both Peter Warrington, 2014-15)
