Two original compositions:
There once was a ball from a sleeve
Whose behavior you would not believe.
When I told it to bite
It responded with spite,
To the joy of my opponent Steve.
There once was a golfer named Woods
Who always would win when he should.
Then the last PGA
Y E Yang won the day,
when nobody thought that he could.
I know, don’t quit my day job! Anyone have any other SFW limericks they’ve written??
