EVE OF THE RLODC FINAL LIMERICKS

A cricket team mascot called Stumpy

Arriving at Lord’s got all jumpy

Till R. Van de Merwe’s

Cure for his nerve-ers

Proved to be flagons of scrumpy.

*****

Old Farmer Time’s all a muddle

Wherever he turns he sees double

Twins Ali and Trego

Plus Jamie and Craig O

Are sure to give Hampshire some trouble

*****

A farmer from near to Bridgwater

Supported the county he oughta

So on Finals Day

He stopped making hay

And saw Hampshire put to the slaughter

*****

Tom Banton, he strides to the crease,

He’ll give Hampshire bowlers no peace

Cos no one can fathom

How, with back still in spasm,

From six hitting he will not cease

*****

When tactics demand change of tack

Rolef comes in to the attack

But success from his arm

Might do him some harm

When hyperextending his back

*****

The captain is willing and Abel

And Hildy brings class to the table

With Gregory enthralling

When batting or ‘balling’

The day will be most ‘memor-rable’.

Nothing particularly interesting to say about myself other than after 27 years working as a GP, I was delighted, at the start of December 2023, to start work as the South West Regional Representative of the Slavic Gospel Association (SGA). You can read about what they do at sga.org.uk. I am also an avid Somerset County Cricket Club supporter and a poor example of a Christian who likes to put finger to keyboard from time to time and who is foolish enough to think that someone out there might be interested enough to read what I've written. Some of these blogs have grown over time and some portions of earlier blogs reappear in slightly different forms in later blogs. I apologise for the repetition. If you are involved in a church in the southwest of England and would like to hear more of SGA’s work, do get in touch. I’d love to come and talk a little, or even a lot, about what they get up to!.
