THE DUFFER


Clyde Rolf
Played golf

In rough
That's tough

Mishap
Sand trap

Putts missed
He's pissed

So far
No par

i just took a pill
the water spilled
not much of a drop

but it dripped
off my bearded
chin slowly rolling

down between
my man breasts
and avoiding the 

sand trap
landing in an
unflagged belly

button as
the crowd
went wild with

this
hole

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...

Randolph
Tried golf

Paid fees
Bought tees

Teed off
Pals scoff

Drive muff
In rough

Balls lost
They cost!

Oh crap
Sand trap!

Putts bad
Gets mad!

More flubs
Breaks clubs!

So far
No par

Played poor
No more!

Club house
To souse!

  A Man Called Gilsn Gulp He likes to Play Golf--

There once was man named Gilsn Gulp who liked golf;
He said, "See the lovely sand trap Rudolf!"
It was rather porous,  good;
But not very dogwood;
He couldn't say no to the rodolph?

When it comes to golf, I am such a sap.
I hate it whenever my ball is in a sand trap.

It’s bad enough when I either hook or slice.
I am aware that my swing does not look nice.

How I would like to shave points off my game.
What I do out on the course will bring me shame.

The word I hate most is “bogey”.
I don’t want to hear it when it is said around me.
