May had arrived and the first cricket match of the season
Had started at exactly thirty minutes past two
The air was humid but there was a light cool breeze
Which held the temperatures back even in the sun
The hollow sound of bat on to ball echoed endlessly
As Alison B and I watched the match from the car park
We were sitting in her bright red open top car
My friend was wearing a large pair of glasses and a cream blouse
She was bored by the cricket match and did not hide the fact
But we both knew that we would have to remain there
Until Norman arrived with the parcel that we had been asked to collect
