Hit Me With Your Best Shot

Hit me with your best shot, Said the despicable thug. Although smaller in size, I knew I must chug-a-lug! Ignore him was not an option, Too much was at stake. My girlfriend I must defend— Anything for her sake! I would fight for her honor. Insults I would not allow. The perpetrator grinned, And mockingly took a bow. Straightaway I hit him With a surprising punch, His eyes showed shock As he felt his big nose crunch. The fight was quickly finished. I was indeed elated. My girlfriend smiled at me, Saved from a cause ill-fated. When giving your best shot While facing a peril, If you give a bloody nose, Don’t wear your best apparel.
