Bing’s Clambake Golf Trophy

Precious gift that held Bourbon Whiskey for Bing,

'White Christmas' at Christmastime he did sing.

This gift is a “1972” trophy for golf,

I protect it in case it does get lost.

See when Chucky was alive,

he hung out with Bing

and they did all sorts of things.

Like boxing, going to the pool hall,

this was always in the city of St. Paul.

See Bing went into incognito,

never dressing up in a tuxedo,

but drinking he never did ditto.

See Chucky stopped drinking but Bing did not,

He said “Chucky, I’m going to drink every last shot”.

Including the Whiskey Bourbon made in Clermont Kentucky,

in the 31st Clambake Trophy I got from dear friend Chucky.

Since Chucky is gone the trophy has moved on,

to many places like my friend's Minneapolis condo.

I had it retrieved when a friend used a duplicate key,

to get it back in my possession for me.

Then Clambake Trophy I did lend,

to another longtime friend,

staying on a refrigerator in Wisc “cheeseland”,

Now I finally have Trophy back again,

reminding me of Bing and Chucky our friend.
