Grass Doesn’t Grow On Trees, You Know

(Broadwas, The Lidl and Aldi Of Croquet Clubs)  

I feel that the season is coming

Now the subscription is set

Though to guess the exact date is mind-numbing

So don’t go to Betfred just yet

But why do I think it’s good value?

Why is it such a fair price?

Well there aren’t many good yearly meetings

Where the Chair jokes ‘bout lawns and some rice

So why do our fees outshine Asda?

We don’t do bargains, or discounts or pasta

It’s the excitement and thrills – anticipation!

As Whizzbang Billy’s hoop shots fly right past ya’

There’s not much you can buy for one twenty

A couple of meals of posh squid?

An afternoon for two at the Albion?

For that? Wouldn’t give you a quid!

So what does your fee actually give you?

For a start it will open the door

To hoops, muddy balls and good banter

And repairs, stopping holes in the floor

So it’s well worth a visit to Bank Piggy

If you don’t, you might miss Friday cake,

Or Norris jokes…(second thoughts that’s no biggy)

Send your dosh to S.Smith, or he’ll quake

Clink clink, Asda Price!
