Melvin the Dragon is watching the cricket
Martha's along for the ride
Melvin his hoping they won't lose a wicket
Martha's asleep by his side
Melvin in dreams would open the batting
Martha goes shopping for shoes
All of the fans are enjoying their chatting
Martha's enjoying her snooze!
The balls not a good one, the batsman has thumped it
Ever so high to the crowd
The batting's been good but that shot has trumped it
The fans are cheering aloud
The ball's coming down it could be like murder
If the ball hits a head in the stand
Martha wakes up, the cheering has stirred her
Catches the ball in one hand
She doesn't stand up, to throw back their missile
Bowls it from her seated pose
Speeds through the air like a rocket that's fissile
Straight at the poor keeper's nose!
Melvin the dragon is watching the cricket
Martha is playing the game
Everytime Martha can bowl out a batsman
Melvin can bask in her fame
Martha's a marvel a bowler that's fiery
Clearly the star of her team
Melvin's so proud of his girl to admire he
Has ordered another ice-cream!

Martha has one little problem
She's blind to most colours you see
She couldn't care less if he's blue or he's pink
It's his smouldering love sets her free -
Marvin now watches his Martha
As up to the wicket she'll stride
Gloves in place, bat in hand
His heart it swells with such pride -

Martha the dragon's a quite awesome bowler
Bowling with fire and hate
Martha the dragon's a kitten for Melvin
Fat blue dragon lovers are great!

LMAO - after watching SA vs India last night with the 20/20 in SA - I find this even funnier

Martha walks up to the crease with a passion
Melvin he sits taking notes
Martha her ball all red and shiny
Melvin on Martha he dotes

Martha's a much better bowler
She bowls with passion and fire
Melvin just sits there and watches
His heart is alive with desire
