 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!

Tongues get loose.

I don't like people using God's name in vain.
