Rolf Poems

Opa Rolf and Compressed Time

Rolf was born in Wallertheim, in an optimistic year
Progress seemed to be everywhere, and not much to fear.
Then the reds took Russia, shook the world to the core
Millions killed when in power, a crime you can’t ignore

Drafted in World War One, every moment was a scare
French came at him in bright red uniforms, too visible,

Rolf Plays Golf

Clyde Rolf
Played golf

First nine
Went fine

Next nine
Not fine

He muffs
In roughs

Sand trap
Oh crap

Tough break
In lake

Bad hook
In brook

Blew putts
Some klutz

Hurled putter
In gutter

O'er par
By far

Disgust
He cussed

Clubhouse
To souse

things they don`t know if you tell them something
they don`t hear what you say, just waiting for their
a chance to rambles on.
He has the sort of face exuding stupidity and is inviting
you to

A Golfer Named Rolf

There was a weekend duffer named Rolf

   Who proclaimed he knew all about golf

      Ball dinged a guy's head

         Hapless guy saw red

            Rolf should have yelled "FORE" when

Rolf Benirschke-Maverick

Rolf Benirschke place kicker.
Ulcerative colitis
nearly ended his career.
He made a comeback.
Rolf defied the odds.
He holds the Chargers record
for the most points scored.
Rolf brought soccer-style kicking
to professional football.

Golfer Rolf

There once was a weekend golfer named Rolf

   Who thought he knew everything about golf

      His wild ball dinged a guy's head

         His cuss words best be unsaid

            Rolf
