You and Your Boules!!

At petanque, you spend your leisure time
and you always go there with the same smile
you have in mind the sharp sound
of the boule knocking off another.
You know the pleasure of the jack being caressed,
with a well launched boule,
that lands just beside it.
Whether to 'point' or to 'shoot' ,
is always the topic of discussion with your partner,
the constant commentary on the game,
seems to leave little time wasted.
between the match one is playing
and one the one soon to begin.
This sport requires great skill,
Gives you the sense of addiction,
So do not change
And with the petanque
live long
with hours of pleasure.

[A translation with Liberties!!]
