Bowls Poem

​

1 THINK 1' T L PACK MY BOWLS

AND FIND SOME OTHER GAME TO PLAY.

I'LL TAKE UP DRAUGHTS OR DOMINOES ' COS IT'S TRAGIC MY POOR BOWL GOES.

V!HEN ENDS ARE SHORT, T PLAY THEM LONG,

          MY FINGERS MADE     GRIP" QUITE WRONG:

WHEN ENDS ARE LONG, I'M NEVER UP

MY "FOLLOW THROUGH" HAS GONE TO POT.

"PLEASE, TAKE THE GRASS" THE CAPTAIN WILL SAY HE'S REALLY SIGHING QUITE A LOT TODAY,

HE THEN EXPLODES AND BLOWS HTS TOP,

MY "SKINNY" BOWL HAS TAKENOUR SHOT'. THE CAPTAIN CRIES "COME 'ROUND THE BACK T WANT ONE HERE BEHIND THE JACK," INSTEAD OF THAT MY BOWL ARRIVES RIGHT

DEAD IN FRONT TO STOP HIS DRIVES!

HOLDING FOUR, JUST DRAW ANOTHER

T 'D RATHER YOU BE SHORT THAN OVER." BUT OH MY GOD, WHAT HAVE 1 DONE'.

          T 'VE PUSHED THEM TN TO GIVE THEM    ONE!

THIS GAME FRUSTRATES ME, IT DRIVES ME MAD!

WHY , OH WHY - HAVE 1 PLAYED SO BAD'. 1 THINK I'VE HAD "BOWLS" FOR THE SEASON FOR 1 REALLY CAN'T UNDERSTAND THE REASON I'VE HARDLY DRAWN A SHOT TODAY,

THE MORE 1 TRY - THE MORE I'M ASTRAY'.

HEY BOWLS 1 S A FUNNY GAME THEY SAY, MY ONLY GOOD "SHOT" HAS WON THE DAY.

WITH A BIT OF A WOBBLE AND A COUPLE OF WICKS

             I'VE TAKEN THE "SHOT BOWL" OUT   FOR six:

          SO NOW I'M SMILING     LOST MY SORROW

AND I'LL SEE YOU AT THE GREEN. . . TOMORROW!
