It's a Four Letter Word
I hear it from someone each and every day,
Some say it loudly, others soft in their way.
It's a four letter word I am talking about,
Sometimes I myself, the word want to shout.
I know it gives pleasure to many who do,
It also causes rifts between men and women, too.
But the word is said there is no doubt,
It does no good, if you just want to pout.
Because the word comes from old and has passed down,
I know it's been spoken in every size of town.
People all over the world say it now,
And don't give a second thought of where or how.
They just use the word like some ethereal thing,
Others could make it one to use just for a fling.
There are thousands and thousands who go out each day,
And this four letter word is all they can say.
I have said it many a time,
But, I haven't spoken it yet, at least not in this rhyme.
I know that I will use it again,
Probably tomorrow will be the day when.
For I'm in league with others who say,
The four letter word...afternoons on Thursday.
Yes, we love to say the word,
I'm sure it is one, that you have all heard.
I've said it in the presence of Bobs, Joans, Phils, and a Rolf,
I'll say it to you...the word is GOLF!
