Encounters of a Titanic Kind
Naked Aggression met Unbridled Greed
on an uncharted forest path
Warily they circled each other, eyes
laser-focused, each on the other's hands...
Up the road a ways trudged Steely Determination
weak and weary from a bout with the flu
Some distance behind him, he heard shouts ring out
felt a pin-prick of fear but pressed on...
Naked Aggression made his move for a thicket
Unbridled Greed pursuing, hot on his heels
Yet just when it seemed Determination was doomed
he ducked into a hard-to-see clearing
Well, Aggression never let up and ran right past him
straight into a solid brick wall -- Splat!
And all that was left of once-mighty Aggression
was a bloody dismembered blue cap...
Determination breathed a deep sigh
fell to one knee and gave thanks
Then he got up and chuckled and said
Thank God this was a fraternity prank
