Hail King, Bear, Tiger

We so loved the King, Arnold Palmer

His charges, a links swashbuckler

How he grew golf’s popularity

Thanks to him, the biggest winner is Charity

We salute the Bear, Jack Nicklaus

Master strategist, in the majors so glorious

With his life partner Barbara

Top healthcare for kids their mantra

We applaud Tiger, Tiger Woods

Such a closer, to the wire so good

When he plays, the whole world pays attention

And for many, higher education

Hail to you, King, Bear, and Tiger

Thanks for those you so inspire

Championships and philanthropy

Are your everlasting legacy
