The Bulldog Vs the Kangaroo

Swings and hides in the kangaroo court.
The bulldog drops him with one report.
He struggles and fights to stay on his feet.
His fancy footwork skips every beat.

Bob and weave, stick and move.
He floats like a kangaroo with no groove.
Pathetic and weak and nothing original.
He hides in the bush like an aboriginal.

Come on sparky, show me something new.
Are you tired of the bulldog beating you black and blue?
A kick in the rear is what you need.
Your sorry punches are lacking speed.

You think you’re cool with your big mouth.
True north is where I am.  You’re going south.
You’ve got no power to your punch.
This Bulldog eats Kangaroos for lunch.

My dog Boo is not much of a fighter, but he will be able to tell which hole they decide to hide in.
