A Golf Limerick

While a man was golfing in Fife
a funeral cortege was arife,

       his head bowed in prayer
       at this somber affair

to pay last respects to his wife!

Thvia, your poem links a joke with a limerick in a very good way. Well done, indeed. It takes a lot of skill to do this well. This was featured on the home page and I just happened to see it....smiles!!
