If Baxter Is a Shaolin Master

If Long-Practicing Baxter 
Were truly a Kung–Fu Master,
Wouldn’t his kicks be faster,
His praises sung by some raster,
His rivals split like a castor,
Restoration Prayers of a pastor?

If Baxter is Shaolin Master,
Why wear the hugest, ugliest plaster,
Around walk with an unsightly wound,
More troubles face from foes ruined;
A headache like plants not pruned
And to clearly longer rests attuned?

Let me, some day, through a newscaster 
Learn that China judges Baxter, Shaolin master.
