Left Handed Boxers

There has never been a southpaw, Who has the crushing show made poor; Each in the ring a carnivore, His left hook, his wasting death jaw, Your swollen eyes already a law Before the last bout on the floor. A lateral body positioning That The Left Thing keeps conditioning, From the ring catapulting a victim To an international hospital And from its ward to its mortuary: So, it had been with Callous Etim, From a fight to a celebratory rental And a speeding-up of his obituary. South paws still have been licked By the Maverick Right-Handed, When they have such boldly picked For the blows hatefully landed. Pacquiao saying it was going to be Mayweather And meeting with a bit of bad weather.
