windy wet and wintry

No work today . Just a bunch of tense rats ( caddies ) waiting for
their name to be called by the caddiemaster. Plenty of games of
12 card brag going on interspersed with squeals and groans ,
reactions to their luck. Waited for 4 hours and then went home.
Am booked for tomorrow so thats handy. Some of the boys havent
worked since Monday. Mind you its ugly out there at the moment.
Standing on the 6th tee of the New course in these conditions is
a bark especially if you know your golfer is likely to top it.......its
colder than a polar bears winkle.
I suppose I shall have to start hustling some of the members
for my xmas perks. I normally start with a tear jerking story about
my nephews little faces lighting up when they receive word from their
Uncle Dave. How they would woop and holler if they ever received a
gift .......Im welling up now just thinking about it. I even started a scheme
encouraging people to adopt a caddie for the winter but as yet there have
been no takers. People have no respect for our work in the community.
Lately its been so hard we have started eating mushrooms we find out
on the course. Fun Time Frankie ate so many of them he had to be
helped in. He was convinced that a giant duck had it in for him. How we
all laughed. Strangely ironic really as he always signs receipts " D.Duck ".
" Xmas is coming
The geese are getting fat
Please put a penny in an old caddies hat
If you havent got a penny
A halfpenny will do
If you havent got a halfpenny
Join the feckin queue.... ".....I thank you and goodnight
