Insanity or Golf  by Tamela Roush


Sometimes I wonder why he loves this game
He plays it so much that folks think he's insane

Off the first tee with the flag as his goal
And straight in the fairway that little ball goes

It comes to a stop yet two-hundred yards short
But that is the reason why he loves this sport

Will he use a fairway wood or a long iron
Will it come out hot - or will it retire

The choice that he makes puts it on the green
Now that was the greatest shot he'd ever seen

One putt then two - it finally goes through
That one he birdie'd now its off to hole two

That first hole determined the rest of his day
Now let's swing those clubs seventeen more holes to play

He certainly had fun there were some quirky shots
But nine times out of ten that ball rested on the spot

He continues the game using every club in his bag
Concentrating on his swings with goal as the flag

Now into the clubhouse he walkes with a grin
He gives them more money, let the second game begin

And that is the reason folks think he's insane
Eighteen holes wasn't enough and its starting to rain
