Better Wining
My Dad always said
Better to win by being the better man
Than by default
Because your opponent
Caved
Otherwise although you won
There will always be a nagging doubt
That victory was empty
Because your opponent beat himself
And to reach the top shelf
To put the result beyond question
You have to know
You won fair and fair
And not by default
