Is life a game?

Life is an unpredictable game
sometimes you wallow in fame
other times you are called a name
most of the time is simply a game.

every one no doubt is a player
only a few get in to the foyer
most oothers watch from the wing
and imagine themselves in the ring.

It is like a game of cricket
only you do not like the wicket
expensive is the ring side thicket
you have to buy your own ticket.

you bat, you always growl
you bowl, you only howl
at times in the field all day
only thing you do is pray

you bat the ball takes vicious turns
you bowl, fours and sixes are the runs
you bat every Tom,Dick and Harry takes your catch
on the field, balls you simply donot reach.

you are tired when the stumps are drawn
your name shows no wicket,catch or run
it may look as a tale forlorn
for most stumps are drawn just when born
