Hit Me With Your Best Shot
Hit me with your best shot,
Said the despicable thug.
Although smaller in size,
I knew I must chug-a-lug!
Ignore him was not an option,
Too much was at stake.
My girlfriend I must defend—
Anything for her sake!
I would fight for her honor.
Insults I would not allow.
The perpetrator grinned,
And mockingly took a bow.
Straightaway I hit him
With a surprising punch,
His eyes showed shock
As he felt his big nose crunch.
The fight was quickly finished.
I was indeed elated.
My girlfriend smiled at me,
Saved from a cause ill-fated.
When giving your best shot
While facing a peril,
If you give a bloody nose,
Don’t wear your best apparel.
