My philosophical education about being a big powerful bowler - best of luck, we need it! |
The worst possible scenario can often pay huge dividends In the form of the big, nasty curve, The sport of bowling’s most and least treasured phenomenon – Love is getting that arching rainbow Into the pocket and striking with fiery precision, The envy of all of one’s peers; Yet, this most impressive weapon can lead To one’s ticklish and brutal demise, For bowling often consists mainly of accuracy, Ball speed, and spare shots To yield its grandest and most palpable rewards. One can often strike just as well by hitting their target And repeating this knack consistently with speed; And since spares are more easily achieved With this hard and straight release off the hand, Hard and straight bowlers can often claw and battle Their way to victory, and more often than not, Overwhelm the big hook players In that lengthy war of attrition That bowling often becomes... This competitive reality can lead one to wonder, Is the wieldy, serpentine curve The luckiest shot in bowling, Or the more rigorous and tacky specimen? Does one depend more on luck, Or on one's own ability…? |
