Did you happen to catch these factoids
March 19th in the local tabloids?
Golfers, twelve they say, ran
Eighteen holes faster than
Colorectal surgeons on steroids.

Team # 1: Parsonesse Leslie, Lead Goose Glen, Parson Ed, and Fore-Forty Dorothy

To the Golf Dome’s fair fairways they came,
To run obstacles some call insane:
A windmill at hole two,
A ball-eating igloo,
Swinging post and an oil pump arcane.

The very best team of the tourney
Was no doubt Glen and Les, Ed, and Dorothy.
Glen’s two Aces were great
Leslie’s Pars numbered eight,
And Parson Ed lauded Dorothy’s Fore-Forty.

Though Arlene, Rudy, Gina, and Bill
Came in second overall they were thrilled
With Gina’s five Bogeys,
Arlene’s big bad Birdie,
And Bill’s Snowman next to Rudy’s deft Diesel.

Team 3: John and Guy, Bob and Dale,
With Elena the token female,
Had the highest score yet,
From their laughter we’ll bet,
Had more fun than a barrel of primates.

The moral of this bad rhyme is this:
Don’t settle for sorrow, choose bliss.
Next time there’s an outing
There’s no sense in pouting
If you missed it ’cause you did not enlist.
