Ode to carrom
Carrom is my favourite game
But I have no sense of shame
That I don’t play vey well
But there is to need to tell
Me how to flick my finger
Or hurry up… I like to linger
Carrom is a game of fun
No matter if you’ve lost or won.
If you have the time to spare
You can play it anywhere
Take my time, set up my shot
Position my striker, oh almost forgot
Maybe a little sprinkling of powder
And silence please. The noise gets louder
The coin clacks against the side
Oh what a pity. It’s too wide.
Carrom is a game of fun
No matter if you’ve lost or won.
If you have the time to spare
You can play it anywhere
Missed the next one, and the next
Not to worry, I’m not vexed
Toffs can play it and riff-raff
Take it seriously or have a laugh
Just enjoy and make new friends
Go home happy when it ends,
Carrom is a game of fun
No matter if you’ve lost or won.
If you have the time to spare
You can play it anywhere.
If I could write music I’d write it here.
But I can’t.
If I knew how to do podcasts or video I’d sing it to you.
But I can’t do podcasts or video.
I can’t sing either.
If I could write poetry I wouldn’t be doing this. Probably.
