Backgammon To Croquet.

Yes I let him beat me,

Let my son beat me,

Beat me at Backgammon.

First time in thirty five years

Since he started playing me,

Thirty five years ago.

 

He then said he wanted to play,

Play another game that I played,

He wanted to play croquet.

So off I took him,

Took him to the lawn.

We set it all up,

I let him hit a few balls,

And then he wanted to play.

We played our first game,

I was gentle with him

And let him get two hoops,

While I got my seven.

First game seven two to me.

The second game

He went through the hoop first,

So he was in the lead.

I let him have another hoop

And beat him seven two once more.

He wanted one more game

So I put my match mask on.

And beat him seven nil.

I’ll teach him not to beat me!

Not to beat me at Backgammon!
