Poem -

I'm to blame ....

We were coasting
Winning with ease
A moment of madness
No one to blame but me .

A lonely walk back
Carrying a newly redundant bat
No sympathy from team mates or crowd
What followed after , Made the shot dafter .
We collapsed like a house of cardsĀ 

A poor shot indeed
Costly for myself and the team
No one to blame but I
I can't answer why

- Bitter taste in unlikely defeat .Ā
