Poem

"Golf Tee Lament"

Larry Buddin

http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/golf-tees-lament/

Golf tees on my dresser

Golf tees in my bed
Golf tee on my pillow

Where they poke me in my head

Golf tees in my closet

Falling from my shirts and pants

Golf tees along the baseboards
Just like army ants

Golf tees in the carpet

And underneath my feet
Golf tees lined up on the mantle
Oh, they look so neat

Golf tees in my couch

And in my back and thighs

When I sit and watch TV

I feel those little guys

Golf tees in my car

And underneath the mats

Golf tees in the backseat
Like little baseball bats

But when I am at the golf course
I ask my partner, like a louse....

May I borrow some of your tees?

I left mine at the house.

Math
We hit a golf ball into a bucket. I had them count each hit out loud, then record it. They did it ten times, then added up their scores.

Went Miniature Golfing
Ezra, Noah and I went. I forgot my camera. It was fun. I had Ezra add up his total at the end. He got 82. Noah was somewhere in the 100's. It was just good for him to count his strokes out loud and report them to me after each hole.

We Learned
-if you get it in the water you have to get an extra point, and points are bad in golf
-if you hit it in sand it's a little hard because all the dirt sprays off and it might stop your golf ball
-golf balls used to have lots of rubber bands and a hard shell, now they use lots of plastic and a hard shell
-miniature golf is easier because you're really close to it
-you get a point every time you hit the golf ball
