Twelve Perfect Strikes

Joe's brand-new bowling ball rolled down the lane
Knocked down all ten pins again and again
   He'd bowled twelve perfect strikes
   So Joe shouted out, "Yikes!"
When he awoke, it was all down the drain

In the near future, he may see his dream turn into reality. A 300 game is certainly a good thing to achieve.
