I’ve never been a natural athlete; I’m just too uncoordinated. But senior’s carpet bowling is a forgiving sport.

SUNDAY BRUNCH WITH FELLOW CARPET BOWLERS

Sunday brunch with senior carpet bowling buddies.
We throw our bowls on Mondays at the Legion hall.
A rousing sport for arthritic, wrinkled seniors,
We take our pills then toddle to the Legion hall.
We drive or walk depending on the weather,
It may rain or snow, who cares about the weather!

Tomorrow we will draw for team and play positions.
The carpets will be laid with coloured bowls in place.
The skips align themselves as captains of their team,
The small white jack will be thrown to set its place.
A-team may throw a bowl that’s rolling past the jack,
B-team may smile when their bowl stops beside the jack!

At Sunday brunch the talk’s about the weather.
Mary has her garden in and Jerry’s car won’t start.
MRIs, scans, medical appointments, and
Wondering when zone bowling tournaments will start.
No one mentions my bad throw last Monday’s game,
Causing B-team to win what should have been our game!
