Bingo Lingo

 

I’ve decided to try out the bingo
My Gran’s gonna teach me the lingo
Apparently a game about balls
You just shout after so many calls!

 

So far I am learning quite fast
I really don’t want to come last
But the lingo is really quite funny
For a game where the winners get money

 

Number 4 is a knock on the door
74 takes me right to the store?
Gateway to heaven is number 27
And lots of legs for number 11

 

I’ve learnt all this with an open mind
Perhaps I should mix with my own kind
The thought of all those little old dears
Is enough to give me a bout of the fears

 

I can picture them all with their pens ready
Blue rinses bowed, their hands pretty steady
Lined up for action and ready to maim
An outside winner in this odd little game

 

So good old Gran has gone off on her own
I’m left in the house all alone
I search on the net to find something fine
And I’ve found a site to bingo online

    Funny, cute

    LOL this really good. I like the rhyme sceme of this. It made me smile. I never really understood the whole thing with "the old dears" and bingo.

    Pretty good!

    Ditch "number" in 3rd stanza, 3rd line.
    Last line - "And I've found a site - it's bingo online"!
    I think these 2 small improvements will better what is already quite a good poem. Have the clap !
    Regards,

    What a hoot! That is a great write, and neat perspective. Reminds me of dobber-wars when the bingo got out of hand (don't ask!). Thanks for the smiles. Arsenic-.

    fantastic, funny and well written.

    Bright breezy and happy go lucky as usual and I am always speechless that you find so many varied subjects to write about. Great work and of course simple and straight so that it is there to read, take it or leave it. I love your attitude in these poems that can teach us to laugh at ourselves.

    This piece was hilarious, had a nice rhyming scheme, and went through my mind like a song. I loved it, though not only the old folks(jk there) play bingo....but small children love it. You have done a wonderful job creating this piece and it was quite enjoyable. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing!

    great

    great poem iv finaly found somthing today that is not depressing. i really like:
    'I’ve learnt all this with an open mind
    Perhaps I should mix with my own kind
    The thought of all those little old dears
    Is enough to give me a bout of the fears"
    worth the read thank you.
