The Towel in the Ring Started to Swing

  He threw the towel into the ring
    It bounced back up and started to swing
  Realizing he had no right to quit
    He pulled himself up and landed a hit…   

  He waved a white flag at the challenge, plain to see
    Yet that stubborn flag refused to cop a plea
  The odds against him were what they were
    But there he was, up and fighting in a blur… 

  So when you’re sure you’re down and out
    Never give up ~ let out a shout
