When Kitty Golfs

When Kitty Golfs

WHEN KITTY GOLFS 

WHEN Kitty golfs she heeds the lore 
Of five devoted swains, or more; 
And clad in quite the latest thing, 
She lifts her driver up to swing — 
Alas! the ball just topples o'er. 

But though her balls nor rise nor soar, 
Her smiles discouraged hearts restore. 
There's always something happening 
When Kitty golfs. 

E'en caddies, though they quite deplore 
Her game, beg leave to keep her score ; 
And yet the cards which back they bring 
Are not her only pilfering — 
'Tis Cupid who warns players : "Fore !" 
When Kitty golfs.
