Honor's Sabre

Honor’s Sabre He lay a bleeding on the ground, The sword had cut him all around And blood flow from his wound, it wound, Death, it seemed in progress. Adrenaline pumped, he rose once more, The Sabre’s slashed, then, he did score, Opponent lying on the floor, But I do perhaps, digress. Honor was the reason for, The Sabre’s slicing, blood n gore, Men of honor fighting, sure, Blood letting, is the, Witness. Don Johnson 17-july-11

It was better in the old days, not so many got hurt. You say it so well.
