JUST ONE HOOK
(A Facebook chum of mine, Richard Harries, saw this photo of abandoned golf clubs at his local recycling centre and described at "unutterably sad". I concur)
Just one hook
That’s all it took, yeah,
Just one hook
That’s all it took, yeah,
Just one hook
And I knew-ew-ew
That golf
And me were through-ough-ough
Just one hook
With a wood –oo-ood
And I knew
That I was no good.
I thought I was Rory
I’d hit it long, so long
This didn’t end up my story
I was wrong, see? I was so wrong.
Just one iron
And one chi-i-ip
And these clubs
Were all bound for the tip.
I thought I was Jordan
I’d lay it tight, so tight
But chipped it over the cordon
Into the rough and so lost to sight.
Just one putt
And I got the hum-um-ump
So these clubs
Went straight to the dump.
I thought I was Tiger
With a smooth silky touch
But my touch was more like Rod Steiger
I gave it rather too much.
So you see
I can’t drive pitch or putt
So these golf clubs
I have now got shut.
