Mandy Tams The Golden Girl Poet Rhyme

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.

Carolyn Devonshire April 6, 2012 at 11:05 AM 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 Mandy Tams The Golden Girl April 6, 2012 at 11:07 AM I'll pop the kettle on for you Carolyn xx

Robert Pettit April 5, 2012 at 10:49 AM 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.
