“Fore!!!” Fibbing Friday, Nov 19, 2021

These are this week’s questions for Fibbing Friday: 

  1. What is an Arnold Palmer?  A golf groupie who can’t keep her hands to herself.
  2. What is a niblick?  An avid writer who is so intent on the tale that she is composing that she forgets that she’s writing with a pen and not a pencil. Licking the pen doesn’t have the same result.
  3. What is a mashie? A potato. The one being mashed.
  4. What’s the difference between a hook and a slice?  One is a pirate and the other is a piece of pizza. The two are not often compared.
  5. What name is given to a single hole score of three under par? An insufficiently stocked vaccination clinic.
  6. What’s a bogey?  Lauren BaCall’s pet name for Humphrey Bogart. Also her pet name for a baloney sandwich.
  7. What’s the difference between a regular golf course and an executive golf course? The dress code.
  8. What unique award is given to the winner of the Masters Tournament? A copy of The Joy of Sex.
  9. Why do golf balls have dimples? No one knows. That’s why golfers scream “For?” before they swing at the ball.
  10. What is the 19th hole? The penultimate dimple on a golf ball.

Sport Retort

When faced with talk of games and sport,
I seldom have cause to retort.
For dribbling, sparring, touching  down
raise no emotions but a frown.
The games I play are just of mind
Less physically taxing and more kind.

Using tongues and brains to spar,
I am more likely  under par
than when I hit a pock-marked ball
off of the course to hit a wall,
bounce off and into someone’s car
to be transported to regions far.

I have not thought to scream out, “Fore!”
My terminology’s as poor,
I fear, as my coordination,
I will not, ever, stun the nation
with my prowess with balls or bats,
parallel bars, hurdles or mats.

Likewise, I have no interest in
watching others skate and spin,
touch balls down or thrust a fist.
When it comes to sports, I must insist
when the tube depicts each bout,
I am forgiven for running out!!!
