The Friday Boys.

Goldfinch60



The call has come,

The new year started,

And the game will start.

The three of us will meet,

We are The Friday Boys.

Boys is a laugh,

The youngest of these ‘boys’

Is Seventy four.

Every Friday we go,

We go and play our game,

Our game of croquet.

Three matches we have

And we are equally matched

So the results vary

But we have a great time,

We know each other so well

So we three good friends

Meet playing croquet,

Playing croquet every Friday.

And the call has come,

The Friday Boys will be there,

We will be there this week,

Playing the game we love.

I hope it doesn’t snow!

    Really enjoyed this poem. And there are people I know in their sixties that have a 'boy's night out'. It always makes me smile. 🙂

    • Goldfinch60

      Thank you Tom, good friends are wonderful no matter what age we are.

      I love it Andy .. Reminds me of my very own and now sadly disbanded Wednesday club .. when the naughty boys got together and drank like there was no tomorrow .. We raised an awful lot of money for various charities though .. Neville

      • Goldfinch60

        That's great Neville, I was the same many years ago, we too raised a lot of money for charity.

        Jim Bowen on old 'Bullseye' episodes was a former school teacher. He calls contestants boys and girls, whatever their ages. Doh!

        • Goldfinch60

          Yes that is even true today, calling people boys and girls no matter what age. Thank you Orchi.

          A call for comradery and fun is never a bad thing. It is always good to be evenly matched. Hope you win today.

                    This makes me laugh in the best possible way, Andy. It is so complete - The game, the camaraderie - we'll do it, not come hell or high water, but come snow or ice....

                    • Goldfinch60

                      So true Dave, all is so good but the camaraderie is the most important.
