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

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.
