(with apologies to Robert Frost)
The other English teachers have bought bowling balls because they were all jealous of my bowling ball, "Evan" (so named because some kid named Evan owned it before it was given to the Goodwill where I picked it up for $8). If you've ever bought a bowling ball, you know they get crazy model names, like Magma and Emerald Ice. When my dept. chair (the owner of magma) made a comment about the two balls not getting along because fire and ice don't mix, I felt the need to respond with this.
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire,
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To know that for destruction ice
is also great.
But Evan would suffice.

I love poetry parodies about bowling balls. That's the best example I've ever seen.
