Poetry Corner: Sun and the Rain

In Colchester there was much rain
The skipper, Maynard and De Bruyn
Could only pray that it might cease
Both teams allowed one point apiece
Their prayers in vain.

At Beckenham there was much sun
And no escape for anyone
A Surrey massacre ensued
Van Jaarsveld and Azhar Mahmood
Both had their fun.

A game is drawn, a game is lost
Whilst Church & Barran count the cost
Of sitting in the burning rays; apropos
A blistered, red and glowing nose
Their skin embossed!
