Futility Closet

Fore!

Posted in Humor, Poems by Greg Ross on June 1st, 2006

The swinging Brassie strikes; and, having struck,
Moves on: nor all your Wit or future Luck
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Stroke,
Nor from the Card a single Seven pluck.

– From "The Golfer's Rubaiyat" by H.W. Boynton, collected in The Wit and Humor of America, Volume II, 1907
