Reason's Out-of-Season

     What has become of reason
     Seems it’s completely out-of-season

        A tiny push, an unintended shove ~
        Today’s combatants take off the gloves

yes, they don't wear boxing gloves making it hard to see the shoves coming. My last year of teaching a student of mine came into my German class unannounced, cussed me out, and then shoved me to the ground....then laughed. Thankfully my principal was supportive, and he was gone the next day...he was over 18 so the district filed 'charges' against him. I ramble, sorry
