GOLFER's POEM

image
Posted by Dinesh Thakur 06 May 2013
In my hand I hold a ball.... white and dimpled, rather small....
Oh , how bland it does appear.... this harmless looking little sphere.

By its size I could not guess.... the awesome strength it does possess....
But since I fell beneath its spell.... I've wandered through the fires of hell. 

My life has not been quite the same.... Since I chose to play this stupid game....
It rules my mind for hours on end... A fortune it has made me spend.

It has made me swear and yell and cry.... I hate myself and want to die.... 
It promises a thing called par.... If I can hit straight and far.

To master such a tiny ball ... should not be very hard at all …
But my desires the ball refuses.... and does exactly like it chooses.


It hooks and slices, dribbles and dies.... and even disappears before my eyes.... 
Often it will take a whim.... to hit a tree or take a swim.

With miles of grass on which to land.... it finds a tiny patch of sand....
Then has me offering up my soul.... if only it would find the hole.. .. 

It's made me whimper like a pup. ...
and swear that I will give it up....
And take a drink to ease my sorrow.... but the ball knows..... 

I'll be back tomorrow!!!!
