Smaller Balls?

Goldfinch60



There I was playing croquet,

Playing quite well actually,

Playing with Heather

Against Lis and Gill.

I hit my ball towards a hoop,

Through it went

Without touching the sides,

Heather was impressed,

But when I did it again

She said to me,

“Is your ball smaller than ours?”

I replied,

“I beg your pardon!!”

    Ha ha - - thank you dear Andy for my first big smile of the day - - - wishing your croquet balls go through that hoop every time.

    • Goldfinch60

      Oh lol, good write Gold.
      I might swoon. Fido has barked to warn me, in case I do.
      I swoon seeing tennis, and 'new balls, please'. I dare not ask what was the trouble with the old balls! lol.

        Croquet banter! Who'd a thought it!

        • Goldfinch60

          Of course, except in matches, which we won yesterday and are now in the semi-finals of the south west area croquet league competition.

              Nothing plural here... Are you sure that croquet etiquette doesn't demand that you present your credentials before commencement of play?
              Soldier on Andy, soldier on....

              • Goldfinch60

                My credentials are always well known in the club.

                Yessir!

                  Oarrr - Been around have they? Registered for posterity are they?

                  you never know, Andy
                  in modernity's landscape of gender ambiguity
                  'beg your pardon', is the Only response we're afforded...
                  crazy times, my friend
                  (but thanks for the laugh
                  hope you have a great weekend,
                  some torrential weather expected next few weeks
                  we best make the best of this last remnants of summer)
                  once more, its passed - far too quick

                  • Goldfinch60

                    Thank you Mek, pleased that I made you laugh it is a great medicine.

                    Funnily enough farmer Giles was just saying how his little coq managed to sneak into the smallest cracks in the cowardly wire ooppss chicken wire.

                    Red balls often appear swollen compared to those pale white ones or shrivelled blue ones.
