or The Ancient Game of Goff
...and the Goffers!!
Banned by Decree of
King James IV in 1491:
“It is agin the common good of the realme
and defence thereof.”
It is a well known
fact that Goffers are a tribe aparte.
Thru playing Goff
unceasingly, their very natures
change and they become tacurne,
sullen, peevish and
irritable.
They speake, eat, drink, sleepe and
jabber Goff;
forgetting their chattels and infants and spend monies
only on balls, clubbs
or a majic drink called wiski.
The clubb makers and wiski-sellers
make enormous
fortunes, while the Goffers
families are in greate famine.
These Goffers have been knowne to rise
with the lark to
play Goff, and continue throughout the daylite hours
only stopping for short times....and wiski.
Such are the very
odd ways of Goffers.
