An Organic Golf Course

Out on Martha's Vineyard there's a golf course, so they say,

Where weeds and thistles, crabgrass, are allowed a holiday.

No fungicides or pesticides are used upon the greens.

No gardeners are prowling with Round Up inside their jeans.

The course has gone organic and they vacuum up the dew

Instead of spraying for a fungal infestation – whew!

I wonder, do they cut the grass with some old-fashioned scythe?

Do they coddle grubs or find a way to make them writhe?

The President is playing there, and what I wanna know

Is will they still need fertilizer once he starts his show.
