I was a pugnacious youngster, But seldom got into a brawl. It seems I knew just how far I could go, When arguing a bad call. Some just happen on the spur of the moment, Usually when playing a game. If there was money on the line, You could hear the Lord's name, taken in vain.

Your words give the reader a great view of perhaps a disputed call, George! I know how those tempers can fly!

Love ya!

when tempers fly,
Tongues get loose.
