Tribute.To. Cricket's.Perfect.Gentleman Poem by narayana aghalaya

TO. THE. WALL-A.TRIBUTE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

with. the. cup. and. team, The. Wall.is.back. home
to. boys. and. staff, his. credits. are.handsome
~
in.triumph, his. humility. astounds
for. the. boys, limelight; himself, the. background
~
no.praise. enough, for. one, of. his.stature
to.motivate.these. boys - a. great. gesture
~
to.take.charge, lesser. men.would.have. refused
when. Dravid. agreed, were. perhaps. amused
~
the. boys. learnt. finer. skills. of. cricket
some, to. senior. team, might. get. ticket
~
as.a.cricket's.gentleman, to. stand. tall
hope. they. also. learnt, from. The. Wall
~
now, game. is. much. about. taking.bribe
where.love. of. lucre.is. most.urgent
Dravid.is. of.a. fast.depleting.tribe
for. whom.ethics. first, is. most. important
~
this.gentle.cricketer.deserves.high. praise
for. giving. bar. of.ethics, a. high.raise
