Jack Horne Poet Limerick

Chap From Calcutta

There was an old chap from Calcutta,
Who bought a new wood as a putter.
‘A bogey?’ he coughed.
‘This green isn’t soft -’
And swallowed a ball in mid-splutter.

For Craig’s Golf limerick contest, 31st March

Robert Johnson March 9, 2014 at 8:47 PM It can be a frustrating game. But a wood for a putter is lame. And excuses don't matter when you blame it on chatter. Just like sex, when it's soft's not the same. Love your limy's Jack. Peace. :)
