CRICKET NOSTALGIA-ETH

LO! Thee really enjoyeth the Cricket this season. ... took-eth Thee back ... unto the days when Thee wert a Godette .... Thee used to sit upon the grass in Thy best batwing costume at the Oval .... rent-eth of a cushion and some nubile wenches and taketh some jam sandwiches ... happily memories ! Thee knoweth not why the other boys didst snicker and laugh-eth at Thee. Still, Thee put-eth that firmly out of Thy mind. What art a Nancy Boy anyway-eth?

Sometimes Thee used to take-eth Roger the Divine with Thee. Ha Ha-eth! He used to dresseth in dark sunglasses and a biggus floppy hat! Almost like-eth a disguise! I think He wert afeared of sunburn!

Thee found-eth of an old score card in Thy collection of Important-eth Old Stuff .... with some magic nameths upon it .... lo, Thee art showing Thy age, but check-eth this out! Don Bradman and Rocky Balboa ... the fast bowlers of Thy dreams .... lo, they wert Thy heroes ... along with Joe Dimaggio, Evonne Goolagong, .... wow-eth!... classic cricket .... and the immaculate Andre-eth Aggasssisiseth behind the wicket ... lo, 'twill ne'er be-eth the same without Richie Rich, the Gods doth Bless 'im .... and of course John Farnetham ... now them wert the days ....

Love
