CRICKET POEM
(Awarded third prize in "Cricket Story/Poem Contest, 2004" ,
"Cricket Story/Poem Contest, 2004")
.
AN ODE TO CRICKET
.
Oh, cricket is such a fun,
Players keen to make a run
After, forcefully, they trounce
A ball of five and half ounce,
.
With a mighty willow bat,
Swinging it this way and that,
In a show of great cunning,
batsmen bat a full inning,
.
What decides who wins matches?
Runs and wickets and catches.
Bowlers’ dream is a hat-trick
Each side wants the trophy quick.
.
Cricket, game of gentlemen,
Of sportsmanship, true emblem,
Thou can verily inflame
Passions in the name of game.
.
In thy name forget nations,
Inimical relations.
Thy name can thaw up the heart,
And friendly talks can restart.
.
Cricket, hold thy banner high
And, from rooftops, give a cry:
Heartily all of us hail
Sehwag, Kaif, Parthiv Patel.

GOLF QUOTES
Quotes from the golf movie Tin Cup
.
Plot Summary:
.
Roy 'Tin cup' McAvoy, a failed pro golfer who lives at the run-down driving range which he manages with his sidekick and caddy Romeo in the West Texas tin pot town of Salome, ends up signing over ownership to a madam of 'show girls' to pay off debts.
.
His foxy novice golf pupil, female psychiatrist Dr. Molly Griswold, turns out to be the new girlfriend of McAvoy's sarcastic one-time college golf partner, slick PGA superstar David Simms, who drops by to play into Roy's fatal flaw: the inability to resist a dare, all too often causing him to lose against lesser players, in this case gambling away his car.
.
Falling for Molly, Roy decides to become her patient; in order to earn her respect, he decides to try to qualify for the US Open, after starting off as Simm's caddy 'for the benefit of his experience'.
.
His talent proves more then adequate, but over-confident negligence of risks, while pleasing the crowds, is murder on his scores, while Simms spits on the fans but never wastes a point...

Quotes from Tin Cup:

Dr. Molly Griswold: Doreen, how did he get the name Tin Cup?
.
Doreen: Oh, he was the catcher on the high school baseball team. The star pitcher had a big-league curve... not all of his pitches hit Roy in the mitt, ouch. The team thought Tin Cup was a whole lot better than Clank.
