Rory Finally Runs the Table

 

                                           When he was one-and-twenty,

                                           He smelled Masters victory,

                                           But he shot a closing 80,

                                           And it was not to be.

 

                                           Then on this Palm Sunday,

                                           He met a better fate.

                                           Now he's five-and-thirty,

                                           And it was worth the wait.

 

                                           David Martin
