In the eighties, the West Indies was the emperor, the ultimate king

In 1983, the slender David faced the mighty Goliath

And West Indies lost, thanks to Mohinder Amarnath

1987 arrived, with Haynes, Best, and Carl Hooper’s flair,

Yet the team’s decline began, sinking deeper in despair

Then came Lara, Walsh, Bishop and Ambrose

But the Caribbean failed to smell the victory rose

Sadly, the 2023 world cup wonโ€™t have once mighty WI

They kept on losing to the underdogs and failed to qualify

Defeated by Scotland, their dreams fell astray,

A reminder that even giants have their day
