When Hubby Wants To Play Golf
(A True Experience)
By Sheri Stanley and Mary Kent
Hubby awoke in a frivolous mood
Let’s go play golf! as he gulped down his food
I don’t wanna play, I said, is that okay?
But, I’ll ride along with you golfin’ today.
Hackin’ and smackin’ ‘em this way and that
Flopped in the water - went lickity-splat!
There on the T-box he swooshed and he swished
His face was so red as though he had been kissed
He must be close to being out of balls
I searched in the woods - suddenly he calls!!
“FORE!” I straightened up just in time, oh, gee
Wayward ball hits ankle, it swelled up you see
What were you doing out there, anyhow?
Searching to find you more balls, Mr. Wow!
My ankle swelled to gargantuan size
It seems without question I’ve gotten wise
Next time he mentions of golf I’ll say, no!
That’s what I’ll do, but for now I’ll hang low
Cool! Even though I don't play golf, this could apply to skydiving together just as well. Polly and I do a He Said, She Said memoir presentation in which she and I discuss her skydiving efforts with me:-)
ReplyDeleteHa, ha. Yes, I can well imagine, Say, you two should do a collaboration for Whispers! This golfing experience ( as experienced by Mary on a casual day with her husband) so we decided to "go for it" on the collab. When she told me about the, " he yelled fore and the wayward ball hit her ankle" - I just cracked up! Thanks for commenting - hopes this exceeds the average level in comments - I believe the world needs to laugh it off........... Sheri
ReplyDeleteTom, thank you for your comment.
ReplyDeleteA lot more comical on paper--Big laugh! Feeling the pain in my ankle
as I re-live that day--thanks Sheri for your big part with this. Mary
I typed my comment and lost it again...Just wanted to say it made me chuckle and hope Mary is getting the Princess treatment while laid up. Very seamless collaboration.
ReplyDeleteWell done you two,
SuZ
Hi, SuZ - thanks for the wonderful spirit and lighthearted comments - love that. I guess the definition of "spraying 'em all ovah da place" is a true one. Who knew it was destined to meet up with an ankle? Ouch! Sheri / www.poetryandbeyond.net
ReplyDeleteHi ladies!! Thank you for putting a nice grin on my face! I have never played golf, but like watching it on telly. You two play the collab game well together, so much so it feels as if it was written by the same person. Well done. // paul
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you, Paul! You say the sweetest things. Thanks for the grand commenting! Sheri www/poetryandbeyond.net
DeleteLOL, love this witty write, ladies
ReplyDeleteHi, Jack, thank you for taking a precious moment and commenting! Much appreciated. Say, that reminds me, did you see your pages at www.poetryandbeond.net? It doesn't seem to me that you did. Thanks again for the great comments! Sheri
ReplyDeleteThank you, David Austin, for the following--
ReplyDeleteIs frustration a wife's duty? Very entertaining. Love, Dave Austin
Ha, ha, so true. first it is, come watch me hack around the course. 2nd is please go stand underneath a tree because that is the 2nd place I will aim because the 1st place is the water. "The devil made me do it!" Sheri
DeleteSheri and Mary, thank you for a wonderful well written collaboration. Although I know it surely wasn't funny in real life, it sure gave me a smile in the write. I certainly enjoy a light hearted poem now and then.
ReplyDeleteLove, Charlene
Ah, the joys of golfing with a hacker, unfortunately don't end there. "Don't count that", don't count that", don't count that. Hey, I guess one put for 18 holes couldn't be that bad, eh? Smile....... Thanks, Charlene, Sheri / www.poetryandbeyond.net

Hi, Reverend. Good to know this gave you a big laugh! I can visualize all of the drama (especially all the hacking which leads into the end-result) that alone is hilarious. Unless you are behind all of this exhibition, then it isn't funny at all! Sheri / www.poetryandbeyond.net
ReplyDeleteMaurice, thank you for your nice words. I always feel honored when you comment. Mary
ReplyDeleteHello all! On behalf of Mary and myself, I would like to give you all a huge "thank you" for all the wonderfully, cool and positive comments. If one thinks about it, this type of interaction between writers helps to weave the strong bond that will carry on for centuries! God bless all! Sheri and Mary
ReplyDeleteOh, and I forgot to give Karen and Whispers a huge thank you as well, for posting this silly, caricature and almost unbalanced image of what one might sometime or another witness on a golf course. Thank you, Karen!
ReplyDeleteSheri and Mary,
ReplyDeleteVery funny! I really enjoyed it!
David
Good! Glad to give a laugh to someone as caring as you! Thanks for the commenting....... Sheri
DeleteSheri and Mary, I can just imagine the entire scenario by the vivid imagery you express. This did make me laugh and I very much enjoyed it. You two make a great team! Blessings, Connie
ReplyDeleteConnie, I drew great visuals when Mary explained the situation to me. I asked if she would be interested in collaborating on this subject, and being the "good sport" she is, she agreed........... I am just glad she didn't have any broken bones because of all the intricate structure there in the ankle............. thanks for the commenting! Sheri / www.poetryandbeyond.net
ReplyDeleteDavid, thank you for your nice comment I do appreciate it! Mary
ReplyDeleteConnie,I'm glad we made you laugh with what is going on in this world today we all need a good laugh! Thank you and God Bless. Mary
