We were going to go golfing
Ho dee oh ho dee dum
We headed to Del Rio
That was going to be fun
 
When we were nearly there
The call disrupted our day
The rain just wouldn’t stop
Changing the plan for play
 
We turned and headed home
Chatting all the while
Making the best of our drive
Stories that make one smile
 
Once I was home and alone
I started to feel quite sad
I really wanted to golf
The rain nowhere to be had
 
I gathered my friends close by
We headed to number one tee
The course was quiet and green
No golfers made it empty
 
We decided to play for points
And closest to the pin
The two of us we wrestled
Over who would really win
 
I was closest to the pin
It was on number thirteen
I decided to take a picture
Proof captured on a screen

But, really, I have to admit
My playing partner and friend
Was a little furry monster
Tater, my dog, the godsend
 
He didn’t bring his clubs
He likes to chase the cart
He never likes to argue
His gift is he stole my heart
 
So even though the day changed
It worked out well for me
I played 17 holes of golf
With my friend, my little bestie
