So many times it happens!
I need it so much!
Every moment I think of it!
Wanting is more and more!
It is all I talk about!
Why am I hooked on it?
All I am doing
Is hitting some balls,
Hitting them across a lawn!!
So why has croquet now become,
Become my drug of choice!

Good write Gold. I saw an auction on television. A good profit was made on an antique croquet set - the ones you and I use? Or used in 1066?!
Yes I still have that mallet!
Thanks Orchi.
Quite simply because you know its less expensive than golf!
Well I am a cheapskate!

I did wonder! Haha
I'm in trouble this morning -and my drug of choice is to blame. I.ve got paint all down a decent pair of trousers.
Oh dear Michael, I hope that trouble can be washed out.
Our artist daughter does her big works in what was once a pair of white overalls, if you framed them and hung it up they would make a fabulously colourful artwork nowadays without a hint of white!

A fine past-time I should imagine is the game of croquet - -- so play away my friend and enjoy every day
Thank you Fay, I surely will.

Thanks Mon Oncle Andy ~ Love the Enchanting Video & Music. Angela & I enjoy Formal Dances (and Croquet). All that posing & pouting and covert glances ! Men dressed like Penguins & the Ladies Ravishing (no expence spared) dont they know we*re in austerity and out of the EU ? All that muttering behind Dance Cards (they still exist !) ~ we both quite like to dance with others it fosters Fellowship ! We wish we could regress 170 years to 1850 !
C ROQUET ~ Curious game of the Middle & Upper Class
R EQUIRES ~ Hoops & Mallets and of course BALLS !
O NE has to dress in tweed .to really look the part
Q UINTISENTIALLY Consevative ~ John Prescot didnt quite fit !
U NCOMPLICATED ~ suitable for Old Etonians ~ and good
E XERCISE ~ Walking between between the HOOPS !
T HE *Queen of Sports* played by KINGS !
In essence Angel & I love to play Croquet @ Charity Garden Parties but we always wear our DAVY CROCKET HATS and insist to our Hosts that he invented it ! You can take the Scoucer out of Liverpool but you cant take Liverpool out of the Scoucer. We often win the Doubles because we*re Young and still competitive. When we collect the TROPHY we explain (that like in Harry Potter) the Magic is all in the HAT ~ AMEN.
Blessings & Peace to YOU & YOURS
Love & Humour BRIAN & ANGELA

Well Goldie i'm a bit taken aback to see you admit you are hung up on hitting things with a mallet my friend. In a world where you patiently stand by whilst another bashes his balls around I suppose it is bound to have a strange effect upon one.
Disappointed that you have second bested the opiate of music though.
All strictly tongue in cheek of course and all in the 'best possible taste' as Kenny Everett would say.
Thank you d a, the other players do frown at me as I go round the croquet lawn with Chet Baker playing in my earphones. LOL
I am equally surprised as to how much I enjoy playing this sport, I have played many racket and ball sports in my life but this one has really got to me..
Music never leaves me and will always be there for me.
Andy
Nice and smart choice. Enjoy the game.
Thank you mandm, muchappreciated.
Andy
I could take this to place it shouldn't go, but all men like to play with balls you know.... Lol... Sorry first thing that came to mind 😉
Thank you for a great laugh Dan.
Some people can only think of one thing!! LOL
