								Takin' the Shot |  |  |  
					| When old, 
 it is a golf course
 and a fair drive,
 that puts you between the sun and the green.
 
 It is your shot
 take it
 or leave it
 
 ... and you take it.
 
 Perfect!
 
 Just perfect!
 
 ... and right upon the green!
 
 (... none saw it
 but you.)
 
 I walk toward the green and remember
 the shots
 forgotten.
 
 ... shots that counted!
 
 ... so long ago
 
 in Vietnam.
