Golf Outing

A Silly Sonnet
By Izzy Sommers

Together the Episcopalians
Outnumbered the austere Australians
At Mrs. Abercrombie’s outer gate
Where tardy golfers were obliged to wait.
The sculptured hedges were completely cleared
And mandatory guidelines were adhered
To by the special new participants
Preventing any subtle dalliance.
The divots raised were promptly placed among
The ever present patriots who’d sung
God Save The Queen before festivities
Included tiny sandwiches with cheese.
This silly sonnet of a tournament
Of high significance was never meant.
