SKINNY MULLIGAN
They call me Skinny Mulligan
And that's just fine with me.
Because my name IS Mulligan
And I'm skinny as a tree.
Not an Oak or a Redwood tall
A grand Chestnut tree or such.
More a Willow, branch or sprig
So really not so much.
It's not so bad you will agree
My parents made excuses.
My first name, as it's given me
They COULD call me Doofus Rufus.
Skinny Mulligan
I had a friend, growing up, with the last name of Mulligan. And he WAS skinny, as were we all.
I'm not sure why I chose to write a poem using his name. But I doubt he'd mind.
Besides, as an adult, he's not the sort of man that would EVER read a kid's poem.
