A punny poem

 EN GARDE

 

The fencer lost another match,

And wondered if he’d ever win.

After this latest loss he could only say,

“Curses…. Foiled Again.”

If faced with a real sword match,
those fencers would never win,
with swords made out of tinfoil,
their parries and thrusts wouldn't sink in.

Yes his foil did do him in again...maybe he should give up sword fighting and move on to fence building...:) -e-

Groan! A 'pointed' riposte if ever one was penned, Mike! Worthy of inclusion in that veritable classic of perplexing poetic polemics, 'A Child's Garde'en of Hearses', by noted gay blade, Parry Epee! :))
