Onto the lawn we went,
My friend and I
Ready to compete
By knocking balls through,
Balls through the hoops.
There we were in the middle of summer
Dressed for a winter’s day.
The rain was drizzling down
So we had wet gear on.
We started playing,
The rain eased
So we took of the coverings
And played in normal clothes.
Then the sun came out
And I was in a summer shirt.
We played our games,
Played with joy and pleasure.
We had almost finished
When once more the heavens opened
And again we played in the rain,
Until the end.
The weather never stops us playing,
Playing the game we love.
