Our Bowling Date

Three of us went out to bowl For this is done by many, the young and the old We talked as we waited and stood in line For the leagues to finish using up their time We got our lane, now let the games begin To see who will be the winner when we get to the end My bowling started off like oh so whack I couldn't even believe I was bowling like that I gutter balled to the left and then to the right And wondered if this was gonna happen all night One person bowled strikes almost the whole night through For this is something he so loves to do He bowled them strikes like back to back to back And he wasn't trying to give nobody no slack The other one also bowled better than me For I was indeed the worst of the three I think they were bowling strikes so they could get another glance At this nice figure bent over in them gray fitted pants I know they were looking and imaging too For that's in their nature and that's just what men do I was being challenged all the way around Cause I wasn't used to having the guard rails down I knew I could knock down at least one pin Or was I being distracted by these two fine men I went to the bathroom just to get away And one had to wonder if I went there to pray Because when I got back, I was better than before As I rolled that ball straight down the middle of the floor I rolled some strikes and even some nines Cause I wasn't trying to be left way behind We had nachos and pizza as we sat down and ate And enjoyed each other's company on our bowling date Alright, it's crunch time, time to bring our A game For we all wanted to shine with a high score by our name Every step taken was done in stride And each ball rolled, was rolled with pride There were chants and cheers and high fives too See motivating each other is something we do We didn't care about the time cause we were having such fun The next thing I knew, it was twenty after one Bowling was cool, I must truly say When it was all said and done, the winner was Ray
