Henry Likes To Bowl

Henry likes to bowl a lot
He has a bowling ball for every night
If he wasn't at the alley on time
it just would not seem right

Then one day he thought in dismay
My walls are a dreadful sight
I'll paint them well and make them look swell
If it takes me all day and night

Later when it was time to bowl
he discovered a terrible plight
Paint was all over his bowling balls
and he had to make it right

When he was late to the bowling alley
His buddy gave him a call
He said, “I'll be there as soon as I can”
“but first I have to wash my balls!”

Glad you liked it. I don't always get a reply button. They only pop up once in a while, but like my car it could be the nut behind the wheel! :)
