i say to Bob, as he meets
me at the club
for a swim.
i don't see you out on the links
anymore,
did you give
up golf?
had to, he tells me,
patting his slimmed
down belly.
it's the only sport in the world
where you gain
weight as you play.
every time the drink cart
girl came around,
i was eating and drinking
for eighteen holes.
by the last hole
i was stuffed
and the world was blurry.
although i do miss
the shots of bourbon we used
to take on the ninth hole,
and the betting
that took place.
