A BETTING MAN ON CRICKET.

Cricket may be a game, but I can't call it sport, For "the odds" at it aren't to be reckoned. There the last's often first ere you come into port, While the first is quite frequently second. There was Surrey, you see, slap a-top o' the tree, While Sussex was bang at the bottom. But, thanks to the in-and-out form of the three, You never know when you have got 'em! For when I backed Surrey with cheerful content. Why Kent walloped Surrey, and Sussex whopped Kent!!!
