Thunder Game

Thunderbolt, thunderclap!

   Tonight, somewhere above the overcast sky,
   the gods hold an open bowling tournament;
   the earth shudders, then violently trembles
   as gigantic balls crash, roll and roar overhead,
   barreling noisily down titanic bowling alleys,
   exploding, blasting away at colossal tenpins!

Thunderclap, thunderbolt!

We just had one of those bowling tournaments this weekend. Those balls were crashing for some time. Loved this one. God Bless Phyl
