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
