Annihilate Defeat's Pranks and Tanks
Gaze into eyes of defeat and daze him
Knocking out the swagger he flaunts
Ensuring no longer can he trim
To size your awesome arsenal as he taunts
Midgets and Gullivers alike
Trampling their toes, crumpling their pride
Crushing their every effort to manifest his dislike
For the courage and temerity they dare not hide
When defeat springs forth like a gladiator
Eager to smash every hurdle in his way
Challenging any competitor crazy enough to call on a sentimental mediator
To plead for defeat to delay
Administering the coup de grace you dare to challenge
If defeat should galumph
Your way assuming you’d whinge
At the prospect of defeat’s triumph
Whose swagger you determine to break
Once and for all to free your mind
From the petrified fear whose stake
No longer drives you blind
As temerity assures you victory swings her pendulum
Your way to inflict on defeat a resounding reverse
From which he’d take years to recover since the odium
Haunts his very soul when defeat so averse
To uncertainty cringes
Once you gaze him down
Smacking the smug attitude from hinges
That creak from dearth of lubricants in defeat’s town
Where by virtue of determination and brilliance
You exploit defeat’s vulnerable spiritual flanks
Diluting his tonic, dismantling his parasitic pestilence
To annihilate with divine might all defeat’s pranks and tanks.
