The Debate

She had a strong voice And he did too He stood in his beliefs She stood in her truth He knew his subject Very well He lost his grip When she rang the bell She knew statistics Like a mathematician know numbers But she slipped And when she fumbled He took the mic Like a running back catches the ball He made a touch down The man just didn’t fall She composed her thoughts And jumped back in the game Her words were like jabs She hit him with a right and than a left He took a deep breathe They shook hands Then they took their seats A draw No defeat!
