Ode to the Bowlers
by Anthony K.
East Tech High School
Sitting in the bowling lanes with my
homeboys
Laughing, striking, losing, raging wondering,
How do you curve the ball like that?
It’s not easy. Left-handers got it bad to be
honest.
But the Capt is a lefty, though he still screws
up as much as I.
I hate having to use both hands just to curve
the ball.
Yet somehow it works.
It does help not twist my wrist to curve it.
In the end, I still had fun, but this one
tournament,
I couldn’t bare to bowl after my
performance,
Yep, it’s about that time to put the shoes up
and go home.
I can’t believe I got 3 gutters in a row.
You just can’t get any worse than that.
33 points, that whole game, only 33 points.
I’ll see y’all later, ya might not see me at
practice next week.
