Snooker Poems

I am a big fan of snooker although I am a very poor player. These are some snooker poems I have written which will shortly be published in a collection of snooker poems.

​

There Once Was A Yellow Who Said

​

There once was a yellow who said

"I'm worth far much more than a red.

Please score me as four,

or even much more,

or else I'll be leaving instead!

Where's The Cue Ball Going?

​

It's gone for a stroll

down the hole

called

Pocket Lane

again!

​

I Potted A Long Red

​

I potted a long red and gave out a scream,

as it was the best shot that I'd ever seen.

Still needing 8 snookers, I thought this could mean

the start of a comeback. The best that there's been!

I needed to focus and not start to dream

as my best ever break was only sixteen.

I potted the black and gave out a scream

as I aimed for the green in the worst miss there's been!

What Would Taylor Have Done?

​

I was losing 8-0 and having no fun.

I thought to myself what would Taylor have done?

I kissed the big trophy as if I had won.

I lost 18 nil to my 10 year old son.
