Hobbo's Poems
A quirky look at life from a Yorkshire poet and his dog's perspective
A gentle game
A gentle game Hot summer haze, play several days. Fluffy clouds billow, leather on willow. Fifth day it pours, call it a draw. Pick up the wickets, end of the cricket.
is it something you follow, being a Yorkie? You guys go mad for it, don’t you?

😂 I do enjoy it, but to be honest, I only started following it recently because I was bored during lockdown. The Indian Premier League T20 got me into it.

I heard them say that those T20s make it more exciting.
But personally, I doubt it 🤣

😂😂 Aussie singer (mainly for kids) John Williamson has a song about wanting to play cricket like Alan Border. In it there’s a line “four victories to nil. Woulda been six. But the poms wouldn’t play in the rain”. Because of that your poem made me chuckle. 😂

🤣🤣 I never understand why you can’t play in the rain either. Glad I made you chuckle!

I’ve never played. Is it a bit like a mix of baseball and croquet? 😂

Makes me think of the song “it never rains in southern California” and then I see skeletons with bats.
