Sucker Punch
I usually see them coming
this one caught me by surprise.
It hit me in the back of my melon
right between the eyes.
A cheap shot was extended
bludgeoned from behind.
Directly above an area
where the sun has never shined.
I need to be more careful
the tiny dancer keeps watch.
I guess it could have been worse
I could have caught one in the crotch.
Tomorrow is a brand new day
off the clock and out to lunch.
I have new friends that watch my back
for the dreaded sucker punch.
