Poet’s Corner: The Twelve Days of Super (Bowling)
Posted: Thursday, January 25, 2007
On the twelfth day of Bowling,
reporters said to me:
Twelve hours ’til game time
Eleven trillion dollars
Ten times the money
Nine songs at halftime
Eight billion viewers
Seven points a-favored
Six guns a-holding
Five grams of cocaine
Four years suspended
Three players injured
Two brothers coaching
And the Colts beat Da Bears by only three.
