Gentleman's Game Poem by Naga Vamshidhar Ratakonda

On the Field,
And off the Field;
Amongst the Players,
And with the Umpires;
Between the Audience,
And the Players too;
No harsh words spoken,
No bad memories carried back;
Chemistry in moments tense,
Let it be Gentle & Suttle;
Lift the Spirit of Sport,
For it's a Gentleman's Game!

Treat the Ball Gentle,
Or beat it Harsh;
Spin the ball Gentle,
Or speed it Fast;
Give a Visual Treat,
To watchers worldwide;
But don't chuck it Ever,
Or Tamper it Never;
With No Bettings,
And No Scandals;
Lift the Spirit of Sport,
For it's a Gentleman's Game!

Every world cup match,
Cherish the memories glory;
Win the Hearts of Millions,
Even if you don't win a Match;
Win a Fair Play Award,
Alongside the Trophy Lift;
Winners and Runners,
Losers and Floppers...;
Lift the Spirit of Sport,
For it's a Gentleman's Game!

End of Foul Play,
For it's a Gentleman's Game!
