She closes the newspaper and says:
did you read, in Iowa
it hailed—chunks
the size of a golf ball.
That, I say, is because
they go overboard with golf there,
they’ve lost many balls
which are now coming back,
He returns the balls,
you understand, that jokester.
But she doesn’t laugh,
turns around and says horrified:
He always hits the mark.
