First things first, our thanks to Kingy, the club and to Sid
For making another great day for us to declare and to bid
For our places in UMBC immortality, as legends of the game
To be playing once more for the chance to tackle Westgarth, to undo years of shame.
.
Its always so wonderful to struggle into the shrinking uniform and then around the ground
Our once strong arms now so weak, our hamstrings tight and our tummies so round
But nothing shines prouder or broader than the smiles that we bring
Still beaming despite that ungainly third strike swing.
.
The odd error we make, the odd fly ball we miss
More than compensated by catching up with dear mates ... it’s the essence of our heritage, it is sheer bliss.
So thanks Kingy, thanks Sid and thanks to all concerned
It is such a joy and such a pleasure to see everyone notwithstanding another year turned.
.
A further year that has seen wider girths, more grey and arms needing ice and dencorub
And the joy of seeing ...
More
