Have You Ever

Have you ever been spoiling for a fight, I have, Believing you have the right, I have, Looking such a fright, I have With your best friend in your sight, I have, Not knowing why You are so up tight, I have. My Mum put me off having that right, Before I had gained full height, Not stopping the fight til my nose was a sorry sight, And giving my best friend more of the limelight Telling me what I did was not right, And I should apologise for starting the fight, And in future act more bright. I wish my Mum was still alive, So she could set some modern parents right, On how to deal with kids spoiling for a fight, Before they gain too much height.
