Pinball

I shoot my first ball
using the sure touch of an artist,
The shaft is springy to my fingers,
My breath shortens as I watch it
banging against the upper bumpers;
Quickly racking up the points,
I shoot another and my flippers
are aching to gently tickle my balls
into the bonus area,
Both my balls are in play
and I'm on the edge!
Oh no! They're heading for the hole...
Game over.
Sheepishly, I withdraw.
A lesson learned, "Too much enthusiasm
can drastically shorten the game."

Finally ,a poem that doesn't drone on about suicidal impulses or religious adoration, and actually delivers a clever, funny sexual metaphor in well written verse.
some advice: less flipper action and thump that box - risk the tilt!
