A LAWN BOWLING LEGACY
The town .of Seaforth seems
deserted,
Where has ev'rybody gone?
Well, It seems that they have
gathered,
To throw bowls upon the lawn.
They all gather at the clubhouse,
And their entry fee they pay,
This great game, it was invented,
For a lovely summer day.
They greet -their friends from out
Of town,
Yes, some come from far away,
They'll ;share ;aspecial fellowship,
As the game of :bowls they play.
1towling is, an institution,
,With ed,tl'iiattry .steeped in Alpe,
:Even',i)t, it was in 'England,
,At ,one-, a ,considered crime.
It sookdifed'this i)epless ,irngge,
tents In Seaforth
•
And became a sport of kings,
And now throughout Ontario,
Great happiness it brings.
Bowling's noted for its fair play,
And hospitality, of course,
In preserving this tradition,
Seafoi°th's been a major force.
Great men, and women, too, of
course,
Both in present and in past,
In tournaments both far and near,
Never once have been outclassed.
For they have a special mission,
Yes, a ,legend to uphold,
Forged by people of great stature,
:People •of a special mould.

•ref,
There ,was Bechely and' Reid,
'1 epe w,as •Sproat, and Dale, and
;Bratty,
People vi a special breed.
Yes, they played this game with
fervor,
And yet, when the game was done,
They proudly held their heads
a -high,
Battle lost, or battle won.
They have cause for celebration,
In this year of eight -nine,
For the club has now turned sixty,
And its praise we underline.
Yes, they'll honour their tradition,
And in future once more strive,
For )awn bowling is a spirit,
And it must be kept alive.
Yes, we „know that in the future,
Seaforth's praises will be sung,
And -on the ).adder of success,
It will reach the topmost tang.
