Bat On

The Hobbits Reading group created this poem in response to a poem they read called Kick Off.

 Bat On
The team wants to be the ball flying through the sky,
The ball wants to be the bat whacking sixes,
The bat wants to be the pads protecting the batsman’s body,
The pad wants to be the bowler bowling the ball at the wickets,
The bowler wants to be the umpire putting out the finger,
The umpire wants to be the fielder catching the ball,
The fielders want to be the wickets getting smacked down,
The wickets want to be the crowd cheering out at the end of the game,
The crowd wants to be the team, holding the World Cup ...
