B-I-N-G-O
The crowd is large, the room is a buzz,
Nothing brings excitement like Bingo does,
Everyone here is in their golden years,
Trading smiles with each other as the hour nears,
Picking lucky numbers on the worn-out cards,
Every other Tuesday, we are really diehards,
The place becomes silent when it is starting time,
Numbers ring out like a church bell’s chime,
Anticipation grows as one number is lacking,
Waiting for that win; it’s a little nerve-wracking,
The caller announces the next number… and then,
Someone yells “BINGO”, and I did not win,
Close but no cigar, as they say,
I will win another day,
It’s a plus to win, but the real prize here,
Is being with friends that I hold dear.
