Hobble, hobble, click, click

Hobble, hobble,
Click, click,
Bat in hand ready to strike,
Cricket's the sports Jack's always liked

Hobble, hobble,
Click, click,
Jack takes aim to hit the ball,
So careful that he doesn't fall

Hobble, hobble,
Click, click,
For hours and hours every day,
Jack practises determined to find a way.

Hobble, hobble,
Click, click,
The other boys may laugh and jeer,
But Jack ignores and holds back the tears

Hobble, hobble,
Click, click,
10 years old, in so much pain,
Mother dead and dad ashamed… .
