The Baggy Green

 Once I even dared to dream
I’d one day wear the Baggy Green.
As Dad gave me my first small bat
I wish it came with the bottle green hat.

I dreamt I wore it sitting high
and plundered runs as the years went by.
As other interests came and went
the dream of the Baggy Green never went.

But now alas, I have a son
and the Baggy Green was never won.
When he was younger he'd dream
 long and hard as I once did, for the Baggy Green.

I now watch him play for his City side      
And as he strides to the crease
I sit and close my eyes
and think of those men who’ve
worn the Baggy Green.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO just for the love of it CITY
