Jimmy

The old bloke there who wears the bowler hat
He watched as Don Bradman swung his cricket bat
In Melbourne Cricket Grounds some sixty years ago
He watched as the Don put on a super show,
At seventy Jimmy showing his years in gray
And his hero Don Bradman in his long rest lay
Memories of the Don with fondness he recall
In cricket he says the greatest of them all
The memories in him of the past live on
He was a boy in the heyday of the Don
He saw the Don at the height of his fame
The greatest batsman of the cricket game
The cricket crowds he fancy he does hear
As he sits in the local pub enjoying his beer.
