Blowing Play Off

Joined a blowing team
We bowled once a week
Practised, practised all week
Big tournament coming soon
All my team mates members
Had gotten the high scores
I tried to do the same
To get a strike wasn't easy
Sometimes three pins fall
Then I would get a gutter
          ball
The tournament begins 
All teams ready to win
Each team taking turns
Only one team would win
It wasn't my team
My certificate said
Play Offs Champion
I was so proud

Hello Bonnie House it is nice to meet you. It was my very first time. To handle big blowing balls is not easy. Yet I did the best I could. Have a nice evening my friend.

Hi Dar, Bowing can be so mush fun, then again it can be so disheartening when you score badly. I'm glad you found this game to play.

Hello Alfred bowling is fun it was my first time and even though I did badly I had a great time. I would have done better if the balls were smaller. Have a nice day my friend.

It is a really nice poem and a joy to read, you see winning isn't everything, its the fun in participating, the talent and of course the bestome wins, if we lose, that doesn't mean that we are bad, it simply means that the other team was better, so instead of giving up, we must try again, good luck and have a really nice day

Hello Faraz Ajmal, tha was my very first time bowling and I did try hard to get the ball to knock down the pins. But the ball had other ideas. You know something ,I had fun. That is what counts. Have a nice day my friend.
