Exhiliration Comes

Exhiliration comes (thanks dad)

Cassius Clay in his day,
quick as lightning he did thunder,
watch him fight,
an awesome sight,
Great Boxer, 
one man wonder.

At 4 I had a bully sure 
Murphy was me a slapping.
Dad taught me fisticuffs the cure,
Murphy was no longer rapping.

A bouncing in the Valley some,
Keeping bad guys out the door,
3 guys wanted me to fight,
So I said “oh for sure.”

As we got outside,
 One jumped to punch at me,
I ducked his punch ,
Dislodged his lunch ,
An he was on the floor.

His mate grabbed me,
So I slammed this guy ,
Into the bloody wall.
But he’d rise and grab at me,
Never punched him, not at all, 
Just slammed and slammed on he.

3 knock downs of the bigger guy
He just kept arising ,                      (tough bugger)
Twice for the middle guy 
And the third,
 Off the wall was enterprising.

Exhiliration comes,
 when you have won the fight.
Lebanese mates came to help,
The three were put to flight.


Well I guess i do posses the makings of a brawler,
and with the fairer sex perhaps a little crawler,
so come n visit me at least then in your mind,
and passion slips between your thighs ....
oh no no no never mind ....Sponsor	Debbie Guzzi
