Well there I was on the lawn
Knocking the croquet balls around,
Hoping to get them through the hoops.
And there we all were, moaning,
Moaning about the heat.
I mean here we are in October,
The sun blazing down on us,
Many people had dressed for the season,
Hats, coats, jumpers and cardigans.
The game became a striptease,
Coats and jumpers thrown off
And laying around the lawn sides.
There were some like me
In shorts and short sleeved shirts,
We dress for the weather, not the season,
But even I was moaning about the heat
I just do not get on with it.
Bring on the cold
So that once more I can play,
Play croquet in the snow!
