I wrote this for anger management when I go bowling twice a week...
To all my partners, I say, “Good hunting!”
Bowling 300 is better than nothing –
A game for all-time is what we would discuss;
The sport is no match for bowlers like us!

When it’s hard to keep up, they say, “Just relax!”
It’s a team game, and you’ve got our backs –
If you feel you must quit, they say, “Don’t be shy!”
You can’t keep up with them, but you can bowl twice as high!

We all sometimes think that bowling “sucks”,
But if you bowl really great, then you can make big bucks –
The total doesn’t matter, as long as you survive;
The score is always more, so keep hope alive! 

We must rely, at times, solely on luster;
The pain is acute; that’s all the pins you could muster! 
An emotional thing, it is to be freaking;
Let it all hang out, and keep on seeking! 

Watch Greta and Clark, they both can begin;
When they decide which way, they know how to stand in!
Whether players are good, is just an emotion;
Bowling 300 is the only solution!
