Mulligan

Well, here I am sitting on the golf course Watching the fireworks display overhead Yes, I know I'm not as big as a horse But at least one golfer I have misled “Kerplunk" came the ball, bouncing off my shell Casting it deep in the adjoining woods That’s when I heard someone yell, “Mulligan” They ran toward the golfer like a band of hoods I was wondering how they knew my name As they all ran toward the errant golf ball And then banished the golfer from their game Without asking if my shell had been mauled There’s much food to be found on the golf course So I still traverse many a fairway But it never ceases to surprise me How my name’s called when e’er balls go astray Luckily my shell is hard as granite Golf ball injuries I never sustain So my Mulligan family moved here Friendly golfers already know our name Wikipedia definition of "Mulligan" - In golf, a mulligan is a stroke that is replayed from the spot of the previous stroke without penalty, due to an errant shot made on the previous stroke. The result is, as the hole is played and scored, as if the first errant shot had never been made. This practice is disallowed entirely by strict rules and players who attempt it or agree to let it happen may be disqualified from sanctioned competitions.
