“I don’t play ‘Crow-K’
between the month of June
and the month of May,
and only then
if there’s a Saturday
following hard on the heels
of a Tuesday.
.
And when I ‘do’
play ‘Crow-K’,
the pitch has to be flat,
but slanted at a seventeen degree angle;
and nobody should have a mallet
just a fandangle,
blindfolds would be compulsory,
legs tied together,
and matches only held
in the ‘most’ inclement weather.
.
If ‘Crow-K’ ‘is’ played
outside of the bounds
of these rules and regulations,
I would esteem the occurrence
to be of no more than sounds
in a void,
and something… to avoid;
.
saying this, I would like to repeat
a thing I have never uttered before,
that, ‘There is time for ‘Crow-K’
upon the Judgement Day,
and, what is more,
not a day before!’ ”
