Another day on the lawn,
A strange day
With inclement weather.
I have played in all seasons,
The wonder of spring
With the temperature rising,
The heat of summer
Where the heat draws the strength
From my body,
The wonder of autumn
Who shows Natures Palette
At its absolute best.
Then I have played in winter
Where the cold rain drops,
But I am dry in my clothes
And all is well.
But then this day was different,
It was snowing!
I had never played in snow.
I saw the people in their cars
Looking at us with humour
As they passed by,
Thinking “Look at those idiots,
Playing croquet in the snow”.
I did not care,
I was having a great time
As each ball ploughed the snow
On its way to the hoop.
Yes It was a great time
And I give it my highest honour,
I would do it again,
And play croquet in the snow.
