An urn no larger than a flea
Is known to cause such rivalry
as fans in both countries would agree
these are the matches they waited for patiently.
Families in both hemispheres
Make the boundary lines very clear
they make it known to relations dear
Which team it is, that they will cheer.
'A matter of pride' is the communal cry
as each hold their national team on high
'lets hang those boys out to dry'
A common chant when the test is nigh.
A war of words on paper and screen
What the out come is, is yet to be seen
As players, bowl and bat and preen
And try to keep their sledging clean.
Seven weeks of serious tongue lashes
Seven weeks of cricket matches
Seven weeks of odd looking Aussies 'taches'
Sevens weeks of cricket, that is the Ashes
