Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Limerick

Tiddlywinks

I reckon my prime sport is tiddlywinks

   Don't take much energy and little thinks

      I can sit and flip the disks

         Sans cracked skull and other risks

            That might occur while golfing on the links

Carolyn Devonshire January 17, 2011 at 12:13 PM You're too funny, Bob!! Shuffleboard and jacks might be good alternatives to golf too. My sister and her husband have trophies for "hole-in-one" golfing feats. I'm lucky when I have only 10 strokes per hole. And I always hurt my arm when I hit the dirt instead of hitting the ball, even when it's on a tee. I'm with you, Bob, no golf for me! Love, Carolyn
