[Jerome Betts]

Cappello's lot won't light up grounds
But make it to the knock-out rounds
Until, in extra time, dog-weary,
They meet the second Hand of Thierry.

Long after spring has been and sprung
The House of Commons will be hung
And Brown and Cameron will beg
That saving grace, the Hand of Clegg.

The roof at Wimbledon will pass
Two weeks shut tight to save the grass
While outside, in the wet and mist,
Umbrellas shield a Hand of Whist.

Test Matches too will be a pain
When shrunk to one day due to rain
And after light is offered - Boo! Hiss! -
Crowds curse the Hand of Duckworth-Lewis.
