Personal Challenge Poem -- A limerick, "Bad day at the golf course"
.
Bad day at the golf course;
My challenge was to use these ten words from D.H. Lawrence's The Song of a Man Who Came Through (I could have used only nine but I may have fudged on one [which?]):
*direction, *wedge, *chaos, *winged, *fine, *spoil, *borrowed, *subtle, *somebody, *keen *
**Note: Poet's license here, "flung" would be grammatically correct. I also would have liked to use "spoilt" instead of "spoil" at the beginning of this same line.
Bad day at the golf course;
a limerick
Somebody had borrowed his wedge
Fine golfer he, chaos did edge
His keen direction had winged
Spoil his day, putter he flinged**
Subtle end, club's on his car ledge
