A Golf Lesson

Don’t hit your grandad with a golf club, William,

it might just hurt, and it isn’t very kind.

He shouldn’t have laid it down in the hall,

leaving it out there, for you to find,

and I know he says that he doesn’t mind,

but his blood makes a mess upon the wall

and it’s a ten hour wait for an ambulance call.

The symptoms of a mild concussion

are difficult to detect at all.

So please stop hitting grandad with a golf club…

 

Don’t hit grandad with a golf club, William,

Consider the tremendous pain and hurt.

Think of the cost to your mummy and daddy,

If we have to replace his blood-stained shirt!

So, tend to grandad’s injury.  Give his head a rub!

 Kindly stop hitting grandad, with a golf club!

Lovely story, Uilleam. Cute!! And thanks M. C. for seeing the humour. John Botterill meets Joyce Grenfell is what I was going for! 😂

A welcome addition to the tradition of ascerbic humour that has
somehow fallen out of fashion.

Our 3 n a bit found her mum's feather duster the other day, she was wielding it like a sabre...I sustained a severe dusting to the nose.

Grandad will have a bump as big as a golf ball me thinks
so next time you pick up a golf ball William hide it in the bushes like Grandad says he never does - - - great poem John.

He sounds like a natural, John - at golf, I mean. Great humour and empathy here.
