When you come in to sleep tonight
Could you consider, for a moment
That I would rather sleep all night
Than learn how the Test match went?
If my eyes are tightly shut
I am asleep, or pretending to be
You may like to speak to me, but
I would rather sleep, you see?
Please don’t walk up to me
To tell me the cricket score
It is all the same to me
That Dravid hit a four.
Don’t tap me on my hand
Or call out my name
I’d like to remain in Dreamland
Not hear about the game.
For it is two a.m. now
The middle of the night
I don’t see how I can show
Any semblance of delight.
When you come in to sleep..
Oh, when will you ever learn?
Now you are fast asleep
While I shall toss and turn.
The Imagined Universe 
So funny! This has happened to me more times than I care to keep count of! Apparently the matches going on now are part of some trans-universe end-of-the-world series, which I would rather remain ignorant about.
Kamini.
Delightful! And so often a reality- my sympathies:)
Cool. I put my wife through similar tortures :). Thanks for the lessons, but we neverlearn u see.
oh yes , the only thing that gets them excited. I wonder what will happen if there was say a ban on cricket for a year.
It’s the rivals battling each other.
So how can you sleep, woman
Like some old non-caring grandmother
Without knowing if Dada got his ton?
Guess you shd try waking them up in the middle of the night to talk about an SRK or a Tom cruise.. Sweet revenge! 😉
lol 🙂 I should forward this post out to a friend who just got engaged and thinks his girl does not have a choice about his love for cricket!
😀 bravo!
true, very true 🙂
