The Tough Guy

When playing box ball one day,

A known tough guy broke up my game.

Words of anger were spoken-

I challenged him to a fight.

 

He laughed and said, I don't want to hurt you;

We'll have a fight in the ring tomorrow.

Tomorrow came and I won.

It was a three round fight.

Sometimes you have to stand up to a bully, I do it everyday.

I guess we know who was the toughest! I never liked fist fighting although my dad was in Golden Gloves and had the cauliflower ears to prove it. I preferred wrestling and once threw off four guys who jumped me.

Seems to be the case every time -
Call a bully's bluff and find out he's made of marshmellows.
Great going, George!
