(sung to the tune of Gilligan's Island theme) "A 3 hour tour"
"Here's my story it's sad but true,
----About a Bowling Ball
"Ordered off from Ebay
----from a classy guy named ballcellar.
"Payed for by my friends at Paypal
-----quickly was it ordered.
"Proper pin and top weight
----- and excellant shipping too!
"No fuss, no muss, no worries mate
----when ordering from ball cellar
"This is the advertising claim,
---- which made us chose this guy.
"A 3 daaaayyy ship"
"The ball might make it to your house
----just before your va-ca-tion
"On one of the last days of May
----you'll really like this guy!
"Loaded with the proven superflex
--- and a truly proven core!
"You see the Wicked BRT was ripping up
---- Ladies tour for a woman named Wendy!
"They say the ball has eyes my friend!
-----even a lefty won't miss his mark!
"That's a ball I'll like my friend
---in bowling ball dream heaven!
"A 3 da--aaaayyy ship!, A 3 dayyy ship!"
"Well the ball arrived just one day late,
---- on a two week vacation I be.
"Sitting right next to my secretary
---- as pretty as can be.
"Double boxed and insured they said
----sitting on the floor
"My secretary told me it was a pretty box
----and everything should be fine.
"So two weeks pass and I arrive back home
----My eyes are wide with glee
"Just like a boy on Christmas
----who's just a little over 3!
"I'll roll that ball with my strong lefthand
---very high revving and true
"and strikes will all be mine my friend
---- as this was the Wicked BRT!
"But now the story turns sad my friend
---- because as I seized up that box
"I saw some blue and white my friend
---- this is crappy Wicked Oyster Blue!
"That piece of crap I already owned
----for me it rolled, like a heavy rock
"Well I'll just contact that superstar
---that fella named ballcellar!
"Now he was nice and true my friend
----in fact he's from my hometown
"I'd told him we were neighbors once ---
best friends if I remember it right!
In addition I told his this----
---and to check around the town!
my family was the truest of true!
---and he could count on me!
"I'll send back the ball and why don't you send
----me, the Wicked BRT
"They'll both arrive at the same darned
----time, here in ball loving hell!
"He said, that's not how I do it son,
---you'll ship it back to me!
"What with that proven core and coverstock
---you might just keep that ball!
"Well I exclaimed to him my friend
---who lived in the same home town
"Guess what my old friend if you knew me well
----you know I'd be dating MaryAnn!
"Not Ginger, not the skipper NO!
----I'm not one of those fellas
"I'm true blue and wholesome
-----and MaryAnn's for me!
"I'll send that damn blue one
----on my word.
"Well he did say just ship it, boy
----Don't you worry about a thing!
"I followed these instructions and
---sat down and thought about Mary Ann
"I soon realized I had quite a bit oh time
on my hands as the ball did not arrive"
"I think I'll email that guy from my home town
----and see when the ball would arrive!
"No emails at all, and no communitcation
--- a total break----down
"Several weeks pass my friend
---and it looks like I've become the clown!
"Now all of a sudden the ball shows up
---it's pretty and it's red.
"I can't remember for the life of me
---what the hell I wanted this balll---lll for!
"You see it's been a month my friend
---The ball appeared to be lost!
"Just when I'd reached my point of despair
---that damn thing showed up on my door
"A 3 dayy ship!
"Yeah right my friend if a month passes it's,
---it's a lot longer than 3 days
"So I hope you get my ball my friend
---a lot faster than I got mine!
"So I'm heading to the alley now,
---a month older and wiser!
"But I've got a red Wicked BRT
---- and I'm gonna slap those guys around!
"Because I bought it right
---- and it came real quick with what they call
"A 3 day ship!!!!!""""A 3 day ship" music fades!
REgards,

PS I just was having some fun here!!!!
PPs It was a long frustrating wait(mostly caused by me being out of town when wrong ball arrived and ballcellar WHO IS from my home town shipped the wrong ball back on his nickel, and then the other ball back.
I wish we could have shipped at same time but I guess you can't trust anyone anymore!.
Even if I'm now married to Mary ANN!
