There's No Poetry in Golf
This is dedicated to my dear friend Linda the author of "The Joy of Golf"
A poem about golf…
Who’s heard of such a thing?
Tiger? Arnie? Jack?
Not Phil nor Vijay Sing!
There must be a rule
About this Violation
We should call the PGA
It’s an abomination
There’s no crying in baseball
There’s no poetry in golf
Choose your weapon wisely
Just hit and watch the loft
You should think about football,
Boxing or Bull riding
These are some sports of
Which you should be writing
You should try Basketball
And there cute little shorts
But there’s no poetry in Golf
Golf is a man’s sport!

BRAVO RAY!!!!
And thank you for the dedication. thats a really cute poem.

Linda
I beg to disagree...
politely, of course. I also wrote a poem recently about golf,
reference "Tiger Walks the Links".
I enjoyed your poem but disagree with the basic premise. Poetry can be about anything human (or inhuman as the case might be). As long as the poet has some feelings about the poem's subject, then he can express those feelings in poetry. So there, take that! (don't take this seriously - meant as part of a larger joke - see challenge below!)
But I do agree that Sing would be a tough subject! Why don't you try it if you're up to the challenge?
Agree to disagree...to a certain degree!
Joyce,
How dare you express your opinion... Do you think this is China or something.. This was meant to be a joke and I totally agree with what you say.. It is just great that we have so many creative smart thing people that love to express themselves... YOU are one of the best! I mean that ...I love your words of art (as I call them) I sent Linda a little note to let her know that I do not really believe what I said in the poem ...I will probably delete it from my blogs
As far as writing about "sing" I will accept your challenge ...but I t will be a few days until I can try it
You keep up the great work!
And I am always open for some constructive criticism... That is my main purpose of being here! That and to meet lovely people like you and Linda!
calm down, yobarney
my comment was meant as a jest! I wrote a little poem of my own in response. Sorry if I gave the wrong impresssion. It was not meant as criticism at all! Please don't delete the poem from your blogs, it is just great to have someone who is so open and with whom we feel free to communicate! Keep up the good work! I edited my original comment to take the sting out, hope it works!
No Sting
Joice ... I did not sense any attitude or feel any sting ... I know that this has all been in fun and my How dare you comment ...Do you think this is China... was all part of my sarcastic reparte... I love you guys!
Ray
hehehe...
Thank you for sharing this...I needed a little chuckle to start the day and this did the trick! I also thank you for your comment and the welcome to the club...lol...Keep up the great writing!
Stay well, One love and God bless!
