Turkey
Knock all those ten pins down with one ball.
Something known as a “strike” will be the call.
Just in case you did not know, or had doubt,
three strikes in bowling does not mean you’re out.
A “turkey” is that accomplishment’s name.
Get twelve strikes up to the very last frame;
then you will have a perfect three hundred game.
That difficult feat will earn you some fame.
