Snooker and Billiards
Here's the tale I want to tell.
Snooker and billiards taught me well.
A misspent youth? Why not at all.
For when your eye's on that last ball,
you either learn to keep your head,
or learn to lose the game instead.
Snooker and Billiards was accepted for publication online (as Winning) in Sol Magazine, March 2004. Read at Yunnan University, June 2011. This poem was inspired by many years spent playing snooker in the Stevenson Institute in Largs, Ayrshire. Scotland (way back in the 1960s).
