Ode to St. Andrews
Oh, can you imagine
before they place me down?
The course I'd like to tee it up...
to play just one more round.
The verdant greens at Pebble Beach?
Is the privacy of Augusta beyond my reach?
I say to you Oh linkster fine
To tour Old St.Andrews 'twould be sublime.
The Royal & Ancient
is the one for me
to set my ball on the golden tee.
After 18 greens of earthly heaven,
I'll collect my bet and call it even
and head over to the 19th hole
and lay to rest my immortal soul
thanking all the gods of golf above
for this great game that I truly love.
