Two days of croquet,
Croquet the game that I love,
But I was not playing.
It was a national competition
Where players from many counties
Played against each other.
Each result came to me
And onto the computer they went,
That was my job in the tournament,
But I also watched the games.
The top players from the country
Showed me how different the game was
When the best in the country played,
I was amazed at what they could do.
But the finest time was the camaraderie,
The camaraderie between them all.
Yes the games were serious
But between them laughter could be seen.
Such a wonderful game
And such a great weekend for me,
Watching and learning,
Learning from the top players,
The top players in the country.
