Fight Fight Fight

Two eight-year-old boys are angry
Smack-hitting each other.
Their faces are red.
There is a bit of crying.
Different than the two girls I know who are eight.
Animosity will last a few minutes
Not a life time.
Other boys catch on
Begin to take sides.
Stir it just a bit.
Different than the three nine-year-old girls.
The girls begin yelling “Fight! Fight! Fight!
Big instigators, these girls....

Amazing how boys can be at each other's throats one minute and best friends the next. Girls carry grudges for years!!!
