A Narrow Hit-And-Miss Scenario! Poem by Denis Martindale

An archer has to get things right,
Beyond the fumbles and the fright…
Take heart of all that you can be…
Then you'll be perfect… just like ME!
You come up short so you fall short,
You ain't as great as you first thought!
You may be wise in your own eyes,
But Murphy's Law can still surprise!
So watch out, pal, grow up a bit!
Or else the target you won't hit…
Aim high, aim low, then concentrate!
Or else you'll never celebrate!
An archer has to get things right,
Beyond the fumbles and the fright…
Take heart of all that you can be…
Then you'll be perfect… just like ME!
