Question

Where was the speaker and what was he doing in the six and out poem

Answer 1

the poem 'Six and Out' by G.D. Martineau focuses on children who are forced to play out on the road at the park closes and six o'clock. Hence the title 'Six and Out."

The children, while playing on the road, are disturbed by the motor vans and baker's cart. The road is narrow, they have to use the base of lamp post as wicket and wall of the well as score board. The wicket keeper scorer is both, the umpire and the crowd. Yet they are determined to play out there and not bound by the rules of MCC (Marylebone Cricket Club).

The bowler hits ball so hard that it goes and strikes a window and broke its glass. The man of the house shouted and the children fled from there.
