Greg Gaul Poet Light Verse

Ah, Golfslangadang

Grip it, rip it, stick it.
Bombed it, flopped it, topped it too.

Stay, sit, slice, scoot,
Run, kick, roll, draw,
Carry, fly, die, spin,
Watch the little ball go in.

Hop, get up, get down,
Break, oh please just bite,
Ah, the glories of the ball in flight.

On the screws, hit it pure,
Nailed it, straight and sure,
Chunked it, yanked it,
Shanked it, pulled...
Oh, it broke the other way,
Sorry guys I got fooled...
Not my day.

Most appreciated.

William Kelii Kekaula October 20, 2020 at 3:54 PM Expressive intricacies of golf boggles the mind, Greg, origins suggest the lowlands of Europe, ie., The Netherlands being as such--so I've read, my compliments on your honorable placement, Aloha! William Greg Gaul October 20, 2020 at 7:05 PM William, so kind of you to notice. And yes, you are right, it seems the Dutch had a game called "kolf" played mostly on ice around the 12th century. Much thanks for your comment. Your work continues to impress me as well.
