Tiger Tale

Walking my tiger home alone In the background and unknown With a rag I polish a club Then you take it with a snub I walk around keeping stats Wet my finger for wind on flats Calculate yards from here to there So dimpled ball will stay in the air As fast as you behind I lag The difference is I carry your bag All in white in bright coveralls Marking the spot to place your balls On the green is usually where Sometimes you don't I won't go there Have no problem choosing the club Throwing it back an uneasy rub I go the distance for eighteen Making sure you make the green Many tournaments you have won Some are due to the work I've done Raise the cup enjoy the win I can take it on the chin Beside you like some garden gnome Here I'm walking my Tiger home

I liked the beginning, and the cadance; but especially the tiger. The tiger "made this" for me.

I really tried not to go there but the keys have a mind of their own sometimes, hope I kept it clean enough.
