Birdie Trouble

Birdie Trouble

So you think you’re going to hole me
Teed off well and on the green rolled me
Looked like hole in one
Then all hope was gone
When old albatross swooped and stole me

I love your limerick. I'm hopeless at the buggers, so I enjoy reading a good one. Witty analogies in here, Richard. Licia :-)

HA, RICHARD LOVING YOUR LIMERICK. made me smile, I'd seen my dad make a hole second swing. Birdie..... the first time I'd seen him golf. however many times, he could not get the ball in the hole, within the first 3 what look easy shots in the hole. so much for the 3 under par.... enjoyed...Linda
