I really loved the poem The Golf Links by Sarah Cleghorn. Even though it is such a short poem, the irony in this poem is huge. Obviously now with child labor laws, this is not realistic. But if you look beyond this fact, you just have to chuckle a little. It is so crazy to visualize the children peeking out the mill windows while they are working to watch the men playing golf. In reality, it is totally the opposite, and the children should be playing while the men are working. Especially, today when golf is so popular and the children start playing as soon as they can walk.
