Mostly sent by
Twitter to the internet cricket commentary service Guerilla Cricket, the start-up on this webpage was a
bit chaotic.
Master of limericks, above Messy Jez covers
the Guerilla Cricket advertising. Indeed, this part of the DDD SYSTEMS
website
is all his fault. It was in response to one
of his limericks in the autumn of 2015 that Dr. Dan’s Doggerel started to be
written.
What is offered below is not Poetry (with a
capital ‘P’ for ‘Proper’, ‘Profound’ or, if you are of the plebeian persuasion
and just want a bit of fun, ‘Pretentious’).
Anyone
is welcome to submit for publication on this website. It must be about cricket, be your own work and not violate
copyright and other legal stuff.
As Twitter is a form
of social media, then submission by Twitter is fine (you need to include @DrDanDiaper in the Tweet). Verses can
be attached as a graphic (.jpeg is preferred but most formats can be coped
with).
Hint: Use a large font (e.g. at least 16pt) within
graphics so as to make them readable on small screen mobile phones.
For people wanting
editorial feedback before publication, then submissions can be made by Tweet DM
or email ddiaper@ntlworld.com
The organisation of the cricket verse pages is
chronological (newest first), but by cricket matches (i.e. for red ball cricket
matches day 1 is presented first, then day 2, etc.) and within days (i.e. in
the order of their posting during a day’s play). The purpose of this is to allow readers to
relive a cricket match in verse.
Start reading the Cricket Verse pages.
N.B. Older verse, Dr.
Dan’s Doggerel and Messy Jez’s Limericks, can be accessed at the end of the
main Cricket Verse pages.
