Ralphie Parker Vis-A-Vis Scud Farkus

It seems that even-tempered Ralphie Parker, Had a side to him that was somewhat darker. Ralphie lost his cool with his mortal protagonist, And bloodied the beak of Farkus his antagonist! Robert L. Hinshaw, CMSgt, USAF, Retired (c) 2014 All Rights Reserved

Yep Farkus is the bully Ralphie thrashed in the alley! I use rhymezone as my dictionary for writing rather than the soup dictionary and it indicated beak is another word for nose. I was going to use schnoz but thought beak a bit wittier. Always great to hear from you. Bob h
