At the Wrestling Match

Rough n Tumble
At the Royal Rumble! 

Sparkly tights
Some funny sights!

The excited kid's face
Their new favourite place! 

Young upcoming acts 
Jumping around like acrobats! 

Behind the scenes though 
Its not all for-show.. 

The veteran with taped up wrists
Sore back, busted nose
Watching as their career goes... 

Their time in the limelight is running out
But for now, they'll enjoy the fans' shout

Thanks for sharing this. It brought back lovely memories. We used to watch 'All In Wrestling' back in the sixties. Twas very popular then. Best wishes.

Another solid effort, Maddy, keep them coming! This is the first wrestling poem I think I have seen :)

I enjoyed this as a lifelong pro wrestling fan and of course as a poet. So true...
