Binky and Nadine
drink more Bloodies
than I have had tees
on the fairway
Their mansion
rages rococo
For minimalists
they really
are too much

Imagination is a place with no boundaries and no zipcode
Imagination is an opportunity to visit anywhere, anytime, anyhow
Imagination is a state of mind
Imagination is a way to transcend terrible circumstances
Imagination is a bridge over the mundane
Imagination is a fairway for  creating solutions
Imagination is a galaxy of inventions...

I play golf on Sundays.
On fairway, I hit straight.
Hitting ball with iron clubs
ball soars high in air
It is such a sight to 
watch it soar and land
at a spot you aimed for.
Pushing it for a putt
I put it in a cup with a flag
and try to win my match
with par or low count
such as  gaining a bird.
A drink to mark finish
of a good occupation
along with your fourballs
is a satisfying finish.
