I had no compunction About how I acted. I was being myself, With a sense of pride. I have been challenged, And met the foe. Skill had the advantage, As well as a right to the jaw. Sometimes it's necessary, To lay a person low. But size your adversary up, To see if it's a fair brawl. Sometimes it's spontaneous, In the heat of a game. But never make the mistake Of calling me a name.

The use of offensive names to prove/ win an argument is a sure way to lose someone's respect. Enjoyed reading this.

Unfortunately, people like to pick on the quiet ones who don't really like to be challenged. Yes, you are right about sizing your adversary up first. People should at least fight with people of their own size and age.

Great reminder to everyone. Like this!
