If golf had been around back then In days of knights and kings One would have heard a different tune In songs the minstrel sings. There would have been no silly jousts To knock one from one's horse. All duels would be fought civilly At Camelot Golf Course. The beverage cart would have been driven By sweet Gueneviere While using all her queenly charms To peddle Arthur Beer. The leader would be Putt-A-Lot Who hit balls with his lance And wore, instead of armor, Pink and green and chartreuse pants. Crusades would not have happened.. There would be no need for war. The only battle would have been Defeating evil par! The Holy Grail would have been The prize all tried to win And any three-putts from ten feet Would be a mortal sin. There would have been no ravaging Of virgin maidens then. All ladies-in-waiting would be waiting For their missing men. Ah, yes, golf could have saved the world Of so much pain and strife If it had been around back then To change medieval life!!! |

What? I see no lance for Sir Long-John No Putt for Sir Toe's nonsense... I see no dig nor holes in course ~ What is this, recompense? You're far too nice a man I fear, for recent trouncings of Sir Balladeer! |

Balladeer If that were the way today I'd be steering my horse that way. If I were you I'd send this to one of the Golf magazines. |

Ha! I love it! The problem would have been that they might have killed one another.....It wasn't as much against the law then. Thanks for sharing the imagination. Eric |

All my golfer buddies would love this! maybe you should submit this to the publisher of the newspaper put out just for our little golf village where I work... personally I see no fascination in the game, but there must be something to make those guys get out there in the middle of lightning bolts...lol |
