Hey, Hey -- A Hole-in-One

There once was a Rabbi lived in Big Sur Who could drive a golf ball straight, far, and sure When he got a hole-in-one He sighed, “Why, this is no fun” Who could he tell? ~ it was on Yom Kippur* ________________________________________ *Properly pronounced: Yome KiPOOR... Not a day for playing golf, esp. if you are a Rabbi!!

Big Sur has no golf courses, rabbi--just New Age retreats and "liberated" lifestyles. Enough of your mishagash! Lol--Robert

The Rabbi’s secret’s safe with us, no fuss - Though he should never have been seen for dust - Having played away - on a special day - Asking forgiveness is truly a must…… Beryl

Yup. Not that you or I ever played hooky, John. As I recall, you were on the hockey team.
