Batman’s song Mel: Waltzing Mathilda (Even was 10 when the family went to spend
half a year in Melbourne in 1993-94. He picked up a few things, including a
passion for cricket.) Once a little Norseman travelled
down to Mellabourne struggling
so hard an Australian to be. And he
sang as he sat and waited with his wooden bat: "Dad,
won’t you come and play cricket with me? Play me
some cricket, try hit the wicket, Dad,
come and play some more cricket with me." And when
Dad fin’lly bowled, little
batman eyed the ball so cold, wacked
it to places that noone could see. Dad
tried to practice, spinning balls to left and right, struggling
so hard an Australian to be, while
the young Norseman sat and
waited with his wooden bat: "Dad,
are you ready for cricket with me? Play
some more cricket, try hit the wicket, Dad,
come and play some more cricket with me." And when
Dad fin’lly bowled, little
batman eyed the ball so cold, wacked
it to places that noone could see. Dad |
