Then

If boxers worked at farms making bales
Then we would call them haymakers
If hammers are made to hit nails
Then they could be finger breakers

If boxers ate hay everyday for lunch
Then bale making would be hands free
If the haymakers really pack a punch
Then that’d be the last straw for me

If fingers were stronger than hammers
Then consider boxer’s hands armed
If they’re used for more than nail slammers
Then bales are made in jails, not farmed
