As a Matter of Fact, It’s Fun

A fun poem about bowling...for serious bowling addicts.

The sport of bowling is fun,
Whether it’s ten strikes or one,
Because it teaches us life
Through the pain and the strife.
It never matters, the age of the man,
As long as he has some kind of plan.
For bowling real proud
Really does please the crowd,
When it’s the seventh frame
And you’ve brought your ‘A’ game!

It might be hard, not to get your average,
When the seventh frame comes, and it’s time to ravage…
How fun the task, when the whole of the matter
Is how to throw a strike, and make the pins splatter.
For being mellow and real
Does often conceal
The length and the duty,
Of kicking some booty!
So stay in this town,
And never back down –
Be up to the task,
And do what they ask…

For sometimes you’ll see
It’s not easy to be,
A perfect, hot shooter,
Even though you’re much cuter…
But never back down,
And stay in THIS town,
And trial after trial,
Use super denial,
Because what just couldn’t happen
Is your greatest weapon!
Be sure to proceed
Amidst the greatest need –
From the seventh frame on,
Strike or you’re gone…
