Knuckle Bumps

The itsy bitsy fighter

Went up to start his bout

Down came the pain

And knocked the fighter out

Out came the blood

And dried up on his brain

So the itsy bitsy fighter

Would never bout again

Oh both whimsical and poignant…you stop us in our tracks with a punch to the gut!

Thanks Kim, but I consider myself a pacifist and would never punch anyone. Not while they were looking at least. Lol

Nice fresh duplicating rhyme punch in the face. Very refreshing.

Thanks Benjamin, I guess it's better to be realistic than pugilistic.
