Notes About The Poem

My apologies to Lord Byron!

GO NO MORE A BOWLING

So we’ll go no more a bowling So late into this night Though our arms be still as willing And the lanes be still as bright, For balls wear out the fingers And arthritis shows its might, While the back pains all linger And knees need rest’s respite. Though the night is made for bowling And the lanes close far too soon, Yet we’ll go no more a rolling, Until the clock strikes noon.

Brilliant write this is dear david, your words flow so well and i love the cadence of your lines. So well articulated and delivered. How time changes so much for us all can be felt as i read this poem. Especially “ So we’ll go no more a bowling So late into this night Though our arms be still as willing“ as well as “ For balls wear out the fingers And arthritis shows its might,“ excellent. Pleasure reading your work today. Sending you light
