THE LONGNECK LOB

THINGS I DID, BUT DON’T RECOMMEND
#233 – THE LONGNECK LOB

In Saskatchewan
there aren’t many games
you can play outdoors all year

A favorite of our prairie youth
was tossing bottles at roadside signs

It’s not as simple as it sounds
there’s height and speed and distance
added degree of difficulty for the driver
left handed over roof one eye on the road

All in the wrist at 60 miles per hour

Let it fly forty feet before the sign
with just enough oomph and arc
to float to shattering conclusion
and cheers and beers all round

There is still some question
as to whether aim improved
as time and beer went by
