This collection of pool related poems and short stories was written over a five-year period starting in 2000 and ending in early 2005. David Malone, also known as The Hamster, took up the game of 8-ball Boston Pool in the fall of 1999 at the advanced age of fifty-two, never having seen a pool table before and was instantly hooked. He now plays league pool several times a week and was forced to build an extension on the back of his house to accommodate a home pool table. Pool and billiards has now become something of an obsession as he tries to overcome the handicap of not developing the requisite muscle memory at an early age. Sadly, and despite his best efforts, he remains a very average pool player.
