I like to write a verse or two, I do it all the time Oftentimes it’s limericks, and sometimes perfect rhyme But this is not my hobby, it’s just something that I do I have a hobby and I write, but can’t combine the two Hitting balls with sticks is what I do to get my fix I aim the balls at grassy holes to give me further kicks Hitting balls with sticks is what I do with Uncle Rolf I call it hitting balls with sticks… cos nothing rhymes with golf. Okay, all you clever clogs, I guess I must concede That Rudolf is another choice, on this we are agreed So, come that jolly time of year when holly decks the halls Uncle Rolf can hold my sticks… while Rudolph holds my balls

Thank you, Paula. I’m not into golf to be honest. I could cast a fishing float onto a postage stamp but couldn’t hit a barn door with a football. So, hitting that tiny ball with that metal stick… just ain’t gonna happen ;-)

Hi, Lin. Never played golf in my life. Wrote a fishing tale first but liked this more ;-)

Lol Terry, Rudolph saves the day, love the humour Terry. Was on the south coast last week, saw the needles and thought of you. Hope you're keeping well. Tom

Glad you enjoyed, Tom. I’m a little lacking in ideas right now, so I’m pleased to have come up with something for Tania’s contest. Sorry I couldn’t organise some sunshine for your return ;-)
