So what do you think about bowling
I find it to be a fun sport
Doesn’t matter if you’re very tall
Or even if you’re very short.

I used to be a good bowler, once upon a time
Though it’s been many years since I last bowled
And although my body doesn’t move quite as well now
I seriously doubt I could be too old.

My Father was a great and serious bowler
As long as I can remember he always bowled well
He’d watch every move we’d make as we learned
And with every mistake we would all catch hell.

There were six of us that he got to teach
Five girls then finally his boy
He was actually proud of how us girls did
Though his son was truly his pride and joy.

This year makes ten years since our Father passed away
But his instructions are still branded in my head
That’s why I believe if I bowled tomorrow
Instead of bowling bad I’d bowl good instead.
