Golf and Peace
In the middle of the grassy Temple green
with my pretty wife a game of golf serene,
an early morning weekend to spend in peace
said she “what a waste”!
I hid my disappointment with a bright smile,
measured my response carefully for a while,
asked “is there anything I can do to please”
said she “romancing!”
I was leading her at hole number sixteen,
I knew why she was suddenly not so keen,
if I won my weekend would not pass with ease,
social distancing!
I hit the next one straight in to the thick bush,
and three after that in to a water rush,
lost the golf morning to win the evening peace,
said she “ what a game”!
