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 wonโt 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
