Golf loving Paddy from sunny Glambole
was truly a gentle fun-loving soul
but he was a big bloke,
he took a well-aimed stroke
Sara the caddy yelled "wrong hole, wrong hole”
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*

The GOP want you to know
A 9-year-old girl is fair go
Deny her healthcare
So she learns to share
And they can get on with their show
golfers yearn to get a hole in one
to get it is thrilling, full of fun
wear two pairs of socks
don't keep in toe locks
throw one after hole in one is done
little ungroomed golf
where Kentucky blue grass folds
because of the tee
the surface of ground
all covered in green level
emerald surface
shines the interment
grass is moist and shallow dew
little ungroomed golf
the white drop pearl ball
flies through the air then falls down
hole in one, hooray

Had A Hole in One
St James has a vacant building next door that
used to be a Credit Union but since has closed.
As our church population starts to grow
Vacant building next door could be overflow
Area and could hook up loud speakers to
And hear priest and choir that is true.
Owner of building as deduction start using
Or whatever else he might find amusing
Stop bothering us with behavior being bad
And as tax deduction he can safely add.
Tremendous ideas as usual by me was thought
Up and why would anyone become wrought?
Which is always having to consider the source
What about making it into miniature golf course?
We can have course end up at church door
Where God's handicap will better the score
After service is over and completely done
Will feel like you just had a hole in one.
Ho, Ho, James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran
It was beginners luck why he won
Leaving all the other players stunned
He shot under par
Was the bes t by far
Couldn't believe he got a hole in one
