Let's Do The Gesture

(On Hair's assertions about Inzamam's gesture)

C'mon Inzi now
Let's do the gesture.
First take a bow
Then do the gesture.

The gesture that no one has seen,
Just like the tampering you mean?

Yes it exists. It is real. You take your arm thus
Wave your palm away at that mug, no fuss.

You mean we give each other the gesture
When we say goodbye?
What has this cruel world come to, giving the gesture
To each other on the sly.

No no put that other hand on the hip
Take this one and let it violently rip
Like a Warne delivery.
This is the devilry.

But I am not a spinner.
And a whole lot thinner.

Arch your back
Look at the quack
With your hand near his face
Do it as if you held a mace.

Is that something like I hold my bat
No I will not badger that wombat.

Through one armpit pass the other hand
Splay it and cover his face with a fistful of sand,
While you hold one finger to your knee.
That's how 'tis done, now do you see?
