Hole in One
Writer's Cramp, winning entry

Yorgi and Sergi were ready
Buck and Kirk had no chance to win
This match was years in the making
The losers would sure feel the sting

Following Lunar traditions
The States and New Russia would play
A Round of low gravity golf
The winners were kings for a day

Buck had lost form on the back 9
And Kirk had developed the 'yips'
Sergi had set them up nicely
Then sliced when his moonboot slipped

Buck knew that one shot could save them
He aimed for the old Lunar2
They all held their breath as he hit
And off from the tee the ball flew

Yorgi and Sergi applauded
As, former proud landmark and probe,
Ricocheted the missile back home
And sunk deep inside the right hole

"Fellas, this looks like a vict'ry
Although, I'm not right sure who for!
Seems like both sides are the winners
By rule it's considered a draw"

That wasn't the end of the games
At the Club House Yorgi laughed long
"Buck get them in, set them up pal -
That's the fee for a 'hole in one'"
