I saw the list, Mert Reid was rulin';
The lawn a picture, surface true,
The sport of Kings, I'm telling you.
Some of those men were slim,
some stout;
Some quiet, others liked to shout:
There's no distinction on the green.
You bowl at eighty or sixteen.
It's lots of tun to watch the women.
Especially if the men their trim -

It often happens, I know Well,
But win or lose, gals, you are swell.

With benches for you and a friend:
The clubhouse always looks like

Not many like it—just a few.
Our lovely Elm, hats off to you,
I'm glad I spared you, glad you

To share your beauty with the

We'll never, never cut you down!
All this in vain, without a plan,
He bas it—our caretaking man;
You have the praise of every one;
Congratulations, Bob, well done!

Our world would soon know peace

But, pardon me, I'm far afield,
So oft I to temptation yield;
Now back to Seaforth once again,
To live and bowl, with gentlemen.
