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
