Cricket Season and the English Weather

Knock the snow off the wicket Its time to play cricket With cucumber sarnys and tea Oh no now here we go Now here comes the snow What are the cricket Gods doing to me? A scarf I will take The match I will make Tuck me vest in me pants just you see. They'll not stop me going never mind if its snowing I've waited all season so see The ball bowled down the green almost to fast to be seen As it ploughs in a drift - all stop for tea. ©~GG~

Oh my! It must be tough to play cricket in the rain, Mandy. I didn't know you were from England. Most Americans drink coffee, but I would prefer to join your cricketeers in a glass of tea. Delightful! Love, Carolyn

An American version of cricket called baseball (people in your country call it "rounders") has just gotten started on this side of the pond. Good write.
