Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Limerick

Pugnacious Pete

Pugnacious Pete was his Pseudonym

   Pete Plied Pugilism in the gym

      Though Pete Prayed to Phix his Plight

         Poor Pete seldom won a Phight

            Pete's Phighting career was looking grim!

Peggy Caulfield June 11, 2012 at 2:37 PM Pugnacious Pete is a pompous fool, and he uses his power as a deadly tool. Punches hard, but with his words; and he is nothing more than a pious nerd. I didn't know anyone every used the word pugnacious. It certainly is not used much. I know a man I can label pugnacious. I like you poem.
