Sidmouth ladies’ captain Susie Bonnell has penned an ode to bowls.
THE CAPTAIN’S CALL
She fears the worst and looks at lists
For any names she may have missed
Ten rinks are wanted - so she hears
Needs more players or there’ll be tears.
She lies in wait to beg and plea
Please, please, please play for me
On the phone she gives the call
And finally she gets them all
Enough names up to have a match
Who’ll make the tea? Now that’s the catch
Who hasn’t done their full quota
Swap some names - Check the rota
So here it is - the day has come
Our biggest hope is for the sun
Come rain or shine, we will still play
But lovely weather will make our day
It’s 2pm - we start the game
A magic day is in the frame
Tea and scones are gobbled up
New friends are made with whom we sup.
She ends the day with a Sidmouth win
She goes home happy and all done in
Well done ladies - one and all
Thanks for taking your captains call
Susie Bonnell
