WALKABOUTSVERSE 115 OF 230

Poem 115 of 230:  SUNDAY CRICKET AND BERRIES - SUMMER 2000

From a bus (98 -
    Bury to Manchester),
I got off at the gate
    To Hamilton Road Park,
Where in situ I ate
    Several blackberries
(The taste too good to wait),
    Before making my way
To a further park-gate,
    Where for a while I watched
How Stand's cricketers rate.
