Our club is small, two sheets, and very friendly. We can always have a joke with our opponents even whilst trying to ‘destroy’ them on the ice and if a tissue is dropped from a pocket during a game, we will happily pick it up or let the player know. These things happen and we can joke about them.
Now, we probably all know the aggravation of clothes coming out of the drier, full of static and sticking together, some smaller items even getting sucked into sleeves, trouser legs etc. Normally, these are sorted out and we go on our merry way, apart from the times that we are in such a dreadful rush to get to curling!
These two paragraphs have set the scene for the unfortunate incident that occurred during a game in one of our Ladies leagues, which has been immortalized in verse, much to the embarrassment of the lady involved!
Marianne’s Mishap
The crowd are sat with bated breath as she strides onto the sheet,
Knowing that this final rock will suffice to beat
The other team, stood out there, looking so smug and proud,
“You shouldn’t be so confident” someone calls out loud.
She throws the rock, there is a gasp, suddenly the light flickers,
Which is probably just as well, ‘cos, once again, she’s dropped her knickers!
Needless to say, she had to pick up those herself!
