If you get to Dublin, do the Literary Pub Crawl
Visit the Bailey, The Bachelor, McDaids, Mulligans
Places journalists used to congregate after work
in the 1920’s, when Dublin had three newspapers
James Joyce, Samuel Beckett and Flann O’Brien might appear
They would be ghosts of course, but you might catch a glimpse
They were known to frequent these pubs, being Irish and all

Our Past Is Unforgiving
Miracle Man
4/23/2023
We squander our time
when we venture into the waste land of life
inhabited by the what-if’s, and if I’d only.
Time is not a granter of mulligans,
so the past is unforgiving.
Mistakes or bad decisions are a part of life,
and leaves collateral damage which affects others.
Any mistakes should be viewed as teaching tools.

Early Morning Thoughts
Written: by Miracle Man
2/5/2019
My mind is a cauldron littered with thoughts,
Each lusting to escape to paper.
Winds of change, find my days dancing in volatility.
I'm found probing my mind for patience,
As my days whisper wearily by,
Anxiety/stress has it's foot on my neck.
Because I'm a piece of God's greatest work,
My time spent in prayer is ever wasted.
HE occasionally reminds me,
That the past grants no mulligans,
Over the future, only HE has control,
Which leaves the present for me to deal with.

I found a way of enjoying Golf,
when you're 80 plus years old!
It isn't rocket-science,
so listen and behold!
First of all, stop keeping score,
it's important that you do!
Counting strokes, makes no sense,
for someone old as you!
The fact you even swing a club
and go from tee to green,
is really quite remarkable,
if you, know what I mean!
Not scoring, is so helpful,
the pressures disappear.
It opens up your options
and relieves your inner fear!
If your ball lands in a sand trap,
give yourself a pass.
Use your hand, pick up the ball
and throw it in the grass!
Mulligans are there to use,
but exercise control.
Hold them down as best you can,
no more than three a-hole!
Hitting over water
is unreasonable at best!
So use an older, beat-up ball,
if you decide to take the test!
Hazardous lies can happen!
But, I don't really care,
I just find a spot, to have a clear shot,
then move my ball right there!
Die-hards ain't gonna like these rules,
so here's instructions they can follow!
Pull their lips up over their heads,
and then they can simply swallow!

I've wasted abundant time glancing back,
Surveying moments I might now reshape.
Muddled vision is my present day track,
From thoughts of the past I've no escape.
Dwelling on opportunities once I wasted,
Is akin to displaying an attitude of defeat.
I oft reminisce the good times tasted,
Then left to flounder craving their repeat.
