The Last Monday of Janurary

It was a while ago now Monday before last
and let me tell you the memory is fading fast,
but there just might be tatters enough to tell the tale
of a night that we bowled, not really that well.
The high score of the night was Redline’s 182,
but not in the game where money was due.
Professor topped out at 147
And we can agree, “that sure ain’t heaven”
Lunch tried to work it with a little wine and dine
But it wasn’t enough, that 179
And that left the Tortoise to get it done
But he fell a little short with a 181
But timing is everything and his was just right
And he took home the money at the end of the night
So let this be a lesson to all of you rollers
It don’t matter the size or the speed of the bowler
So listen up close and put down your tissue
Timing beats skill when money’s the issue
