Notes About The Poem

King For a Day

Today, this morning, it’s on, 
The biggest battle of the week,
Down by the broken bridge, 
The one on Old Man creek.

Hell’s Angel, Ugly Pete, 
Will take on Two Tooth Trey, 
The winner taking all the glory, 
Crowned King for the day.

Pete is a south-paw, 
While Trey’s a sneaky switch hitter,
And neither of them,
Have ever been a quitter.

Today, this morning, it’s on, 
The best Staring Contest you’ll see,
At this quiet old folks home,
Straight after morning tea.
