Limerick [The Great Unsaid]
A lass from the Isle of Nantucket
played croquet with a wet sticky wicket;
but found it a bore,
when she couldn’t score,
so flounced off whilst proclaiming: “Oh go away, in short sharp jerky movements”!

As I understand it, the expression: a "sticky wicket", when applied to the game of croquet, refers to the size of the hoop....or something!😏
