Gold Diggers' Sport

Sookie said (as she stood at the tee),

"Though this golfing is boring to me,

Its odds can't be beat.

Of golfers I meet,

for each woman, the males number three!!"


For the Limerick Contest of Carolyn Devonshire

*Note: Female golfers number fewer than 23% in this sport.
With the many doctors and lawyers that seem to enjoy this
activity, I can't help but think it would be a great place for a
single lady to meet rich men!

Very nicely done, Andrea!! You really cover a wide range, from funny (such as this amusing limerick) to serious, with your poetry. I appreciate your fine work. Congratulations, my friend, on your high placement in the contest (and I like the note at the bottom, too)! All good things to you and yours always!! :) Bartholomew
