Watching curling can be really wonderous
The screaming and pleading is often thunderous
Then there's the team makes you yammer
Takingzero to retainthe hammer
Pot-shotting with minimum skill
So boring the crowd's set to kill
(Seven rocks in the circle is great
When barely an inch can settle your fate)
Alberta is running a winning streak
With an audience at the lowest peak.
Final score, typic'ly... two to one
Not watching no more til something is done
(the five rock rule is not enough)
Watching curling can be really wonderous. This is an amazing poem very brilliantly penned.

I would like to translate this poem
I blame the Scots for all this slipping about playing bowls on ice. I have a pair of curling irons on the mantelpiece but have always been far too sensible to venture on ice. It's great with a glass of whisky. A much more sensible way to use ice, in my opinion
