======================
A TEST OF SKILL
The Sport Of Bowling Is A Test Of Skill
Which Never Allows You To Be In Total Control
Therefore It's Necessary To Possess An Indomitable Will
For This Competition Can Leave Footprints On Your Soul
A Solid Physical Game Is Your Primary Concern
So You Can Control Rotation, Direction, Drift, And Speed
Since This Could Take You Several Years To Learn
Patience And Discipline Are Traits That You Need
You Must Then Become Aware Of Basic Lane Conditions
For Playing The Proper Zone Is Deemed Paramount
And You'll Be Subjected To Environmental Transitions
With Hooking-Heads And Carry-Down Two Problems To Surmount
Now It's Imperative To Know The Adjustments To Use
For Delivering Strikes Is The Essence Of The Game
Whether It's Parallel, Zonal, Or Abstract You Choose
It's The "Under And Over" You're Attempting To Tame
If Unable To Realign It Is Now About Equipment
Where Your Mind Is Tested By The Infinite Variations
"The Arsenal" Yields Surface And Weights You Can Implement
So Your Task Is To Decipher The Appropriate Combinations
When You Hit The Pocket And Do Not Carry
You Are Faced With The Conversion Of A Spare
Your Alternatives are "Off The Adjusted Strike" and "Stationary"
Although a "Solid 8" Doesn't Seem Quite Fair
At Each Sessions End You Should Analyze Your Play
Through A Review Of The Mistakes That You Made
If From Good Strategy You Occasionally Do Stray
This Ritual Will Enlighten And May Serve To Dissuade
Every Day You Should Measure Your Level Of Success
And Here Are Two Criteria That Many Players Use
One Consideration Is The Intensity Of The Quest
While The Other Asks The Question: "Win Or Lose"?
A "Hall Of Fame" Might Not Be Your Destination
Though Only A Few Could Even Dare To Suppose
But If You Were To Receive An Engraved Invitation
It Would Certainly Highlight The Career That You Chose
