A LAYMAN'S OPINION

The snooker player plays his shot.
The match is vital, but he's not
On form. The pocket's missed
And he's pissed off,
Yet still the cue ball
(Accidentally)
Moves to safety.
All the crowd's elated
And they clap.
The snooker player sits
And drinks.
Oh what a stupid crowd
He thinks.
