Wednesday Memory

Every Wednesday on the dot, off to the newsagent like a shot. A solitary sixpence,all my wealth picking up the Hotspur comic from the shelf. To read of my hero W W Wilson,the wonder man, sporting 'extraordinaire',batted bowled and ran. Soccer &cricket were a piece of cake, leaving all others in his wake. Bowling ,on a sixpence seven from eight, above average Wilson was uniquely great. He'd bowl all day at one twenty an hour, never stopping to take  shower! In futuristic black body suit, a record breaker without dispute. My inspiration,this imagined prince, never bettered ,'fore or since! Copyright © Brian Strand | Year Posted 2007
