JUST NOT CRICKET

Camp lesson number one:

never underestimate
the cunning pedagogy of a snake;

beguiling, curled to strike,
out on the long grass boundary.

Resist the inclination boy,
let it go for six and don't look back,

that long grass bites like shadows in a crack.
Tears after bedtime in a game like that:

it's just not cricket and it never was.
