FEBRUARY
The golf course slumbers in her snowy bed,
As we prepare ourselves for the months ahead,
To accept the challenge and test our skill,
Against Nature's moods and unbridled will.
BROKE
It's a month after Yule-tide and his wallet's flat,
He went overboard Christmas but we all did that,
Then his auto insurance and income tax came,
Now he's broke but at ease with no mink to
explain.
