WORLD PEACE

WORLD PEACE

A Poem by Julie Grenness
"

A silly idea for world peace. (Summer in Australia means that extreme sport, cricket.)

"

My muse had a strange concept,

Aussies could spread Test Cricket,

Global peace from this precept,

Middle East with a new diversion,

Test cricket's mesmerising stupefaction,

No shots daily, narcotic absorption,

"Resume hostilities at the end of the next over..."

They''ll say "New bowler's called Grover,

We'll see if he bowls a maiden over!"

Large LED screens on constant display,

Test cricket, Ashes every day,

Hours sitting in the hot sun, that's the way,

That's why there's peace in Australia,

Without Test cricket, Peace is a failure!

Yes, Aussies could preach Test Cricket,

My Muse and its weird concepts!
