The Man Who Cried "Golf!"

A Story with a moral.

“Golf! Golf!” the man cried

“I have to go play golf with my bosses

The whole weekend.”

“All right, Love,” his wife said.

So off he went

To the strip club with his buddies.

 

“Golf! Golf!” the man cried

“I have to go play golf with my bosses

The whole weekend.”

“All right, Love,” his wife said.

So off he went on a business trip

With the secretary.

 

“Golf! Golf!” the man cried

“I have to go play golf -”

“Not again, Love?” his wife said.

“Oh well, have fun then.”

So off he went

To the beachfront with her sister.

 

“Golf! Golf -” but this time she didn’t believe him

So black-suited men followed him

With surreptitious glances and inconspicuous cameras

Snapping away at grown men

Chasing balls around a grassy lawn

In ridiculous outfits.

 

She’s never questioned his golfings since

 

And they lived happily ever after.

 

 

Author's Note

MORAL: Play Golf, it's healthy.

This is really interesting. Deceit always works for the side of the deceiver, I guess. Feed them a little truth and they'll buy the whole thing. Great write!
