ha ha, very nice poem, a little off rhythm in the first stanza especially line - he was determined to show them his game was one of a kind - but on the whole, great.
The poem's title drew my attention.While starting to read, I thought about a story where a crow is trying to show its singing prowess to cuckoos.Here the billiard player shows his brilliance.Great imaginative write, loved reading.

Ha ha ha thanks, you did'nt made a carrom player to play the golf, I liked it.
It's nice to read a good silly poem once in a while. And I love how you even made your notes poetic. I at both golf and pool; but I've never tried to combine the two. Worth a try!
