Jeeze You Have Reached Your Limit

Jeeze  You've Reached Your Limit

Jeeze
You've reached your limit
Quit your insane bellyaching!
Before you explode 
~
You can't spring a swing
Not unless   you're in a ring
When you fling your fist
 Like Muhammad Ali's hissed
“Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee”
~
They'll tell you to bring it on and you'll miss
Put you in a bear hug if you persist 
Give you a big kiss
And go away laughing and singing their heads off
~
Be a smart cookie
 Stop being crazy and
Give it a rest
Float away like a butterfly
Let the bees make their honey
So they won't give you a sting
