When Baseball was Young in London and Monsters Roamed the EarthOver 60 million years ago in what is known as the Cretaceous period, the Earth's large masses of land were all part of one vast continent. The name given to this huge land was "Gondwana land" and baseball was played on large treeless stretch of grassland and level country at Roundshaw Playing Fields in the Borough of Sutton. Gordonny "Triceratops" Brown from bonny Scotland, a horned dinosaur, good with finance and all that jazz, was the manager of the "Terrible Lizards and Dinosaurs Baseball Club" which played their home games in an area of grassy land belonging to the Borough of Croydon in South London. Gordonny was known for his ability to talk a lot of baloney and at length, losing baseball matches with any team, and for arguing animatedly with umpires, in an almost naked hostility and childish manner, including a widely exaggerated parodied routine in which he used to jump and stamp on the ground, heavily and repeatedly in a boyish outburst of temper, he even used to throw grit onto their eyes and pull their guarding masks in disobedience. Moreover, he was heavily criticised for drying a boozer once in East London of its booze in one visit, smoking too much and for not having a good working relationship with his coaching staffs, "Big Head" Georgy Bushy or "The Reptilian Crusader" to his cronies, a Stegosaurus, frightful-looking creature with a row of shields along its spine, and pointing into the air from Southern America, who was in fact a harmless vegetarian and a tactician who would sort out any team or player that was not in accord with his tactics and views and Tony Blairy "The Deceiver", an hypocritical,two-faced, insensitive hybrid cold-blooded egg-laying vertebrate Lizard", who resembled an Archaeopteryx, a feathered creature - part bird, part reptile from nowhere in particular - that had wings which it used to parachute from trees to the ground and had teeth like a reptile and claws on the end of its wings. There was also Johnny Gargantuany Prezzy "The Terrible Tyrannosaurus" from Yorkshire, an ill-tempered and fearsome creature, measuring over 46 feet from its nose to the tip of its tail, ever to play for the Terrible Lizards and Kenny Chieftain Livingroundedrockstone "The two-faced, insensitive hybrid cold-blooded egg-laying vertebrate Lizard" from South London, they were two of his most fearless critics and reporters for the "Sporting Phororhacos", a large flightless bird newsrock magazine in Streatham - South London and who also worked as a part-time policeman in the city of London. When Gordony and his mates roamed the Earth there were a number of baseball teams in London. Notably, The Blue Chelsea Amphibians, Jersey Ictidosauria, from which mammals evolved, the Gliding Pteranodons, the Aquatic Mesosaurus, The East African Brachiosaurus, the Oxfordshire Megalosaurus Bucklandi Lizards, the Bromley Brontosaurus and the Richmond Mammoth were some of those team which played in the South East League in England. Unfortunately, the Earth decided to split into continents and these teams and creatures were sent to a far off distant land to live a lonely and misterious life and many of those teams and creatures were extinct and some others had no other option but to accept an evolutionary way of life in order to survive. Still, it is more than I can overlook when I hear people saying that the world is God's workmanship for all creatures to live in harmony and he/she cannot be brought to judgement for his/her isolation from the world that he/she, seemingly, perfectly created. But the world is not perfect by any means since bad things still happening to good people and  evil is reigning suppreme. A recklessly adventurous I was before I met my wife but I abandoned my detachment from the world long time ago to undilute my imagination and let my thinking run without inhibition through the labyrinth of my mind. Having said that, she, my wife cannot comprehend my reasoning for staring out of the window and gazing fixedly ostensibly into space.  Inevitably, she assumes there is something amiss and I am often at pains to reassure her that there is nothing wron with me, even less, she cannot understand nor judge my moments of self imposed hermitage since she has been asked not to rend the silence of my solitude. Certainly, in my personal judgement, the moulding of the mind takes precedence over mundane issues but I do not disregard deliberately my wife's anxieties, albeit so true, it is hard to appreciate her concerns when concentration takes off  and the power of thinking land on the world of concious meditation and it goes beyond the boundaries of reasonable explanations. But  there are no innocents left in world only self-conscious sinners with no intention or interest in being absolved from their sins and with that I bring to an end this article.
