Poem

A chapter in the book People

Jose, O'Malley, Sookie, and Sally

by Bill Schott


Jose, O'Malley, Sookie, and Sally
met up to hang out at Bob's Bowling Alley

O'Malley bought beers and Jose kept score
Sookie said "Selly, ya sich a beg ho-ah!"

Then it was on 'Woid to ya mutter'
Jose threw strikes, O'Malley the gutter

Sally threw punches but never connected
Sookie seemed safe and fully protected

Jose kept killin' the pins like a pro
O'Malley drank beer and ordered some mo'

Leaving the lanes, out with the crowd
Jose was happy, O'Malley was plowed

Sookie was singin', Sally was mute
O'Malley thought Sally looked kind of cute

Jose then noticed that Sookie was fair
Not a strike, mind you, but surely a spare

"Say there, Sookie; you seem pretty swell."
"Doan try it, man; Selly's jallus ez 'ell"

Back to their homes, they ambled that night
After high scores and no score and half of a fight
