Just a little rant. To get it off one's chesticles.
Golf. A fine game played by bum-holes. You heard right – bum-holes.
Dressed in clown attire, with Millennium Dome sizes egos, driving around like the bloody banana-splits in their little clown cars. They think they own the whole of Christendom and beyond, on which to whack their little white balls. They think that nothing, and I mean nothing, zilch, nada…matters more than their golf handicaps – not even the social and mental handicaps which seem to plague this peculiar sect.
Today I was walking my rat-catchers on the public psychopath which runs along the side of my local outdoor bagatelle meadow when I had the temerity, nay audacity, to…wait for it dear reader…to call my dog!
Well! I happened to catch the gaze of this elderly buffoon on the seventh tee, driver raised ominously, frozen in time, like one of those illustrations in a gowf manual about “how not to do it”, and though his wicked body was twisted grotesquely in order to scowl at me in mid swing, it was his non-tellurian visogue which left the lasting and disturbing impression.
To say that his face resembled a bulldog chewing a piss-dipped wasp in lime juice, would elicit complaints from lovers of that breed of canine. To say that he resembled a ruddy-faced, grey-haired, painfully-constipated gargoyle, would be doing a disservice to those cute, gothic embellishments. I mumbled an apology (WHY???) like the motor reflex response to a whacked knee. He “humphed”, he snorted, he relined his stance and aim, he whacked the mini-missile… way over the out-of –bounds fence!
Dear reader. I laughed – and the laugh took root. I guffawed – and the guffaw flowered into a massive display of colourful, uncontrollable mirth.
I’m sure I actually saw steam spurt from his ears and nostrils as he left the tee, having played his third, a vicious slice into the heavy rough. I went on with a song in my heart and a smile on my angelic countenance.
“Monkey’s kiss”, I whispered, through a chuckle, under my breath, “makes you miss”.

It is written in such an ornate, deliberately over-the-top style, it really reminds me of a tall tale, but a very astutely done one. Your description of the golfer's expression made me laugh. I apologize for things that aren't my fault too, almost instinctively; God knows why. Funny rant. I don't have much time for golfers myself...it's too much of a rich man's sport requiring fine clothes, expensive equipment and an exclusive attitude. | Written by Phil (6851 comments posted) 26th April 2007 | Never understood the attraction, although I have to confess I have an automatic dislike of any sport that's played by Telegraph/Daily Mail reading men who want to bring back the birch, think the BNP aren't a racist bunch and name a poor score after a nasal nugget. You should train your dog to snaffle their balls. Good for you.

Mind I wouldn't be surprised if when your'e a famous poet you'll be there playing a round with Heaney or Motion in your Pringle sweater....No? OK. cheers Jane | Written by Lizzy (824 comments posted) 26th April 2007 | Lots of nice phrases here, particularly like Dear reader. I laughed – and the laugh took root. I guffawed – and the guffaw flowered into a massive display of colourful, uncontrollable mirth. You managed in quite a short piece to lampoon very effectively these 'bastions of the ruling class'. Good one. Lizzy | Written by Janie (265 comments posted) 28th April 2007 | great stuff!! really made me laugh...especially this.. To say that his face resembled a bulldog chewing a piss-dipped wasp in lime juice and this I went on with a song in my heart and a smile on my angelic countenance. very dry! |
