Retired for some years, I was looking for a hobby
One that might be beneficial for my whole being
Talking to a friend he suggested league bowling
High school the last time so many moons ago
Made the decision to give it a try
Joined a senior league and a team
Bowling has supplied me a challenge-
Striving to be the best I can be
Found that the sport was fun and good for me
Developed muscle strength, improved flexibility
Doctor said cardio results were better than ever
Stress relief too, except when I miss the dreaded ten pin
Bowling has satisfied my never lost competitive urge
I love to play the game, and even practice is fun
My muscles are toning, and strength has come
Even can lose some weight if I pass on the beer
WebMD says bowling lowers the risk of stroke
Heart attacks, and supplies better oxygenation
What better hobby can one engage in then an
Activity that is beneficial to both mind and body
If you are bored and searching for a hobby
Try bowling, all ages can enjoy the fun
It will satisfy the need for exercise and
Provide the opportunity to socialize
What more can one ask of a hobby?
