Coat of Arms

Ah, look! 
here is a fat white samurai, 
goes by the name of Jeffy.

I see him,
drunk and slurring insults in the direction of his brothers
what a shame.

He might have been someone
yet here he is.

If only Gawain or Kissinger or Super Mario could have been there instead of him, 
maybe they could have averted the situation from its violent course...

But none of them were.

And I, Jeffy,
drunk and ever foolish
fought a dirty fight in a dying bar against overpowering odds.

And sadly, I won.
