Notes About The Poem

Its Just a Load of Old Balls

Jen loves to go to bingo
Knows all the caller’s ‘lingo’
Her numbers come out
She gives a loud shout
Lose - she howls like a dingo

Like this one, Jan. Years ago I used to organize bingo at the local club to make some money that went towards the village feast. Otherwise I never went o a bingo hall...except when I first went to England and stayed at my penfriend's....we went every day! hugs // paul

G'day Jan... Good one Jan. I have heard dingoes howl; perhaps it was Jen playing bingo in the middle of nowhere. Thank you Jan - Lindsay
