Judge Elihu Smails’ poem
in ‘Caddyshack’
“I’ve got a little, a little poem that I’d like to read in honor of this occasion if I may. Spalding, get your foot off the boat!
It’s easy to grin
When your ship comes in
And you’ve got the stock market beat
But the man worthwhile
Is the man who can smile
When his shorts are too tight in the seat!” (Laughter)
(Scene ends with Rodney Dangerfield/Al Czervik saying, “Hey, you scratched my anchor!”)
