Library is my stadium
Book is my bat
Bookshelves are my wickets
Reading hall is my pitch
My team is fielding
I am a wicket keeper
I like my job
Thoughts in words
is the ball of the game
As soon as it cuts the bat
I take the catch
For it is wicket to my team
I am an agile fielder
always await
for ball to turn around
whether it is a googly
or a bouncer;
It makes no difference
to alert mind
I am a responsible member of my team
My team is of underprivileged
Decided in advance
to stay on pitch
and score a century
But for the time being
my team is fielding
I wait for full overs to bowl
Restrict the opposition
to a paltry score
As soon as
all wickets gone
go out on the pitch
to score
Hit the ball
over the boundary
for a sixer;
if not send it on ground
for four;
if difficult, do a running
of one and two,
to keep the score
tickling to victory.
