Poetic Bowling

Bowling News

We have never done much poetry on the website, in fact this is a first, but in a reflective moment (doing a lot of that during the latest lockdown) decided to add this piece as relevant and a reminder of what we are missing.

FRIENDLY RIVALS

I may not always win my game Or shine upon the green But bowling’s made for friendship That’s how it’s always been

I’m happy if I win a match Still happy if I lose If only I am playing Amongst the friends I choose

Give me a summer evening When work is left behind When the sun is in the poplars The breeze is soft and kind

I wouldn’t swop my pleasure With princes or with kings Nor could they be knowing The friendship bowling brings
