Listen to poem:
I sure have learned my lesson
You thought I would by now
To keep my big mouth shut
So the utters won't have a cow

I've learned that most opinions
Are just a lot of bull
When they are done with one
They give my other leg a pull

I think I'll stay here quiet, this is my firm decision
It's not that I've been bullied, or suffered a good licken'
But, If the fight is worth fighten'
I'll be first to start the Kickin'
Then they will find out
who's the chicken

I've learned that most opinions
Are just a lot of bull
So, let me get the sack out
So they can fill it till it's full

When you see me out to pasture
And I'm sure you would agree
There's really no use pickin'
It's just best to let me be

Hmmmmm.. There's often a lot of drama here. It's not worth it to make waves. I'm trying to stay quiet as well.

My Dad was telling me he was always afraid of hurting someone in a fight being a star football player and all… Interesting!

I agree with your Dad, when you know you have the power but not the heart you exercise restraint . Thanks for you comment kim.
