Boycott's Best


Sir Geoffrey plays one off his legs
Leeds Brewery ferments pale ale in kegs
Morning, afternoon or evening session
Drink in Geoffrey’s batting obsession
Resolute balanced batting calmy
Cheered on by the Barley Army
Long hops, short hops, savour the taste
Like Geoffrey’s centuries, no need for haste!
Scent of linseed, colour of willow
Hint of rhubarb, golden, mellow
Front foot forward his defensive stance
In aid of Yorkshire Air Ambulance
Fine pale ale, taste flowering rose
As Geoffrey flicks one off his toes
Another fine knock
As this opener cracks the bottle top
Tackles fizzers, how he comes alive
Boycott’s Best what a cover drive
Perfect line,  perfect length 
Brewed to give the perfect strength!
