My brother and I chat on the ‘phone
And the conversation is so important.
“Hello Terry how are you?”
“I’m fine Andy, how about you?”
“I am fine as well, in these strange times”
“How is you golf going?”
“Thoroughly enjoying it now we can play again,
How about your croquet?”
“Like you, so glad to be playing again”
“Had a great game to other day,
My friend and I played against two guys,
Their golf handicaps were better than ours
But we managed to keep even half of the game
And then it happened,
We both played very well and we beat them,
We beat them seven five”
“That was good Terry,
I had a great game of croquet as well
Playing against one of the best players,
We were both playing so well,
Both at the top of our games,
He beat me seven four
But I didn’t mind
As I played so well,
It was a joy”
“It is always so good
When you play well and lose,
You’ve done your best
And been beaten by a better player,
So you feel good about it”
“Yes that is so true,
I played him a couple of days later
And I beat him seven one,
He did not have a good day”
“It is amazing how those good and bad days come”
“Yes it is and happens to us all”
“Well I’d better go Andy, dinner to cook”
“OK Terry, speak soon”
The conversation ended,
The important things in our life discussed
And that conversation will happen again
Next week some time.
Its so good to speak of them,
The important things in our lives.
Golf - played over eighteen holes winning seven five means that the winners were seven shots ahead with only five holes to play.
Croquet – played through twelve hoops and the first one to get seven hoops is the winner.
