Simon Hamill Poet Rhyme

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.

Gershon Wolf December 8, 2020 at 9:36 AM Really well done, Simon, esp. the last two lines. Brilliant! ...
