Facts

Just on halfway, see the white line

Made with a roller and a bucket of lime

A groundsman, with a steady eye and gait

And perhaps a bowl of rolled out twine


Remember the school playing fields

Running tracks and cricket squares

Where precision, and circumference

Both came into play


Running in at a heck of a pace

Then stopping, precisely, as the ball was released

Or taking a leg-and-middle guard

Before tapping the willow, behind the crease
