Life as a golf lesson

We live our lives in an uncertain state.

Should we commit or hesitate?

If we waver at the top of our swing,

We go all floppy doppy

And miss the damn thing!

 

In life, as in golf, we have but one chance.

You can be a wallflower,

Or join in with the dance.

Let your jig be a riotous fling!

Propel that ball with a powerful swing!

 

Place your head in the correct position,

Get your feet and your shoulder lined up.

Pour out more wine and swig from the cup!

Trust in your swing and let your Life flow!

Strike the ball hard… and watch it go!

Yes, take up golf Freds. You know you want to! 😂 Come on, join all the jolly fairway hackers like Gail, my wife (pictured) and myself! Thanks for the likes, John C and Julie. 👍

I am seriously mulling over a lesson or two in golf and this poem may just be what tips me over to the tee. Time to see what the fuss was all about when pop and aunt were trophy hoarders at golf.

Thanks so much, Holden. I do like an analogy!
I once taught analogy to an A level class and a bad boy from a year 7 class was be in isolated at the back of the room.
He piped up, "I had an allergy once. I ate some green cheese from Sainsbury's!" 😂

Thanks for the like Frederick. And you're right Stephen. We all deserve a second chance. Three off the tee. 😂

An entertaining poem, John. The 'floppy doppy' was faintly disturbing. Perhaps we deserve a second chance, though. With a penalty stroke?
