Bathed in sunlight
We stepped onto the lawn,
Struck four croquet balls
Towards the hoops.
Bathed in pouring rain
We rushed off the lawn,
Jumped in our cars
And went home!

The juxtaposition Butch and your croquet tickled my funny bone no end.
Also thanks for the reminder of that movie.
You used to play bagatelle too!? Did we play it 5 million ago, you and I? Good write Gold.
Oh yes played that as well, so very long ago.

Did you know it used to be called “crooky”? Low impact exercise! Lol
It may be low impact exercise Liz but I have been in competitions where I have stood on croquet lawns for seven hours.

Sorry the rain came and stopped play, but it did inspire this poem and well remembered movie clip. Thank you my friend.
Thank you Bella, much appreciated.
