Showdown

The Lilliputians are out playing ball Enjoying the fresh air of late Fall When storm clouds roll in Hulking Gullivers, wearing wide grins... A Gull warns 'em, 'Fun's over, guys.' 'Cos the court belongs to us now But the Lillis brace to fight back They're all geared up inside... The Gulls advance; the Lillis stand firm Unsure now, the Gulls pull up short Their mission about to abort The Lillis have made them squirm... The Gullivers slowly retreat The Lillis return to their game -- The bullies ignominious defeat Spreads the Lilliputians' name

Gershon, What a marvelous showdown. I always liked the bigness & smallness of Gulliver's travels. And the wise horses of the Houyhnhnms. -R
