but he often shoots
gutter balls.
Thus we are very fortunate
that he's not making
more frequent calls.
Oh yes there are spares
and too many
perfect strikes.
If he ever improves as a bowler
then he'll just do
what he likes.
At the end of this lane
each one of us
is a sitting duck.
We are relieved
he'll never get better
or we're shit out of luck.
He chooses us
as his target
and he's trying with all of his might.
Why does the life
we're living
always have to be a fight?
So we're the bowling pins of humanity.
Thank goodness
for his erratic aim
or else the Grim Reaper
would be bowling
a perfect game!
