Croquet Puns

Fun puns about Croquet and some cool gifts too!

​As much as it is a great idea to create a page of croquet puns and humor, the word itself is an immediate problem.  It is not the easiest of words to rhyme or pun with.  So this page is a gallant effort but a little thin on content.

​Here's hooping we manage to strike something before the Pimm's takes over.

Game Over

Creating a page of croquet puns almost defeated me.  If it hadn't been for having the fun picture of a croquet player, gifts are available, I might have given up.
