William B. Booth, Jr. Poems

Do you golf? I've been asked this question a great deal
But I answer with a smile, "Hey, a golf ball won't make a meal."
If you use your driver or iron, whatever your whim
I reply, "I would rather try to teach a worm to swim."
...

A birthday, an anniversary, or a wedding,
all are unique in their own way
And could be classified as a current event
or happening, one might say.
...

I've reached the age where I really don't care
Have gained some weight and, of course, lost some hair.
Have had daily walks to attempt to keep fit
But, really, life gets tedious-doesn't it?
...
