A Sonnet to Chanderpaul

When I Consider the Batting of Chanderpaul

by

Steve the Bajan

*********

When one looks at the batting style of Shiv,
And judges it less graceful than a crab,
Saying: “Surely he can do more than just dab?
Is this the team that gave the world a Viv?
Has its cabinet nothing more to give
Than pushes, prods, and nudges less than drab?
Then bury it beneath a marble slab!
The gourmet does not merely eat to live!”
But life consists of more than merely cake.
Between run feasts, sustain with crusty bread
For all his runs the team’s scant totals stoke.
Time passes, and each single that they take
Adds up until the Windies pull ahead!
They also serve who only stand and poke.

Fraternally in cricket,
Steve the Bajan
