Snooker Mad

Hendry says that Ronnie, The best to pick up a cue. He's never seen me play So that might not be true. I had a break of twenty When I was just a lad, I'm getting on for sixty now So a forty ain't so bad. So come on then O'Sullivan I challenge you to play, I will give you a game for twenty quid And you can pick the day. I know you are a great player, I watch you all the time. You can make that cue ball sing But I can make it rhyme. A Strand (1071) Sponsored by Brian strand

I loved all your poems. I liked the flow and the ease of the rhythm. Some were even funny.

Really well done, Simon, esp. the last two lines. Brilliant! ... And I think that a poem on billiards is a first (!) on the Soup. ~ Cheers, Gershon
