Sitting in the park yesterday, drinking too much beer,

Watching the Mighty 8 cricketers, giving them a cheer.

A great day for them, and quite a comfortable win

How we talked and chatted, many quaffing gin. Watching the wickets fall, there we all sat; for my support this year they gave me a hat!

A truly great afternoon, then, out in the park

And then a barbie at the club, as it grew dark.

‘Though I don’t play, it’s like I’m on the team.

Yes, they are now my friends these men, these cricketers of esteem.
