Verse 1
If you can keep your head when all about you (Fletch!)
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you (Fletch again!!)
If you can trust your ability to play a long innings when all the English press doubt you
But make allowance for the desire to gloat when you are done,
If you can wait for KP to steal the show
and not be consumed by the desire to out hit him,
Or being lied about (my ankle is not a problem, honest),
don't deal in lies (OK so maybe it hurts a little when I give Harmison too many overs),
Or being hated by Straussy because he is still bitter about losing the captaincy,
don't give way to hating (how can you hate such a nice bloke even if he does want my job, although I still think part of it is down to my wife being fitter than his),
And yet don't look too good (rubbish Rudyard, hundreds today from KP and I and some long overdue runs from GoJo might see us pull off the impossible),
nor talk too wise, (stuff it I am going to gloat if we pull this one off):
Anyway this poetic arty business is nearly as lame as my weird obsession with Elton John and Rocket Man (note to self ask Barmy Army trumpeter for a rendition today during series defining innings) so I am going to call it a night. Sweet dreams KP and remember only 90 overs of facing Warney, Pigeon, Clarke and best mate Bing tomorrow and the series is still alive.
