Why we Play Golf!
"A Shot to Remember"
Off to the golf course I go
with my little brother in tow
meet some friends we know
this years swing I proudly show
Lots of kidding and chiding
but none with malice
when putts come up short
they'll say "Nice try Alice"
We all partake in this innocent fun
it's give and take for everyone
needling and ribbing the errant stroke
a misplaced swing receives a well placed poke
In competative mode with compatible gathering
better to laugh when your swing is unraveling
another weak putt... lips... utter a curse
to bad they say "the club hit your purse"
All this long day thus such we toiled
not to give way to a "Good walk Spoiled"
By the end of the day good mischief a play
all 18 we did play and play without dismay
Revealing the score some laughter did smother
no birdies, few bogey's and oh so many 'others'
But Spirits remain high
our count held no lie
to parry a score or negotiate a par
the 19th hole is a fully stocked bar
And so shall we return
few lessons if learned
The same jovial crew not less one member
in total pursuit of the "shot to remember"
Inspired by ~Sir Winston Churchill
"A diabolical game played with instruments
ill suited for it's purpose"
