Why Box
Why Box!

& A Poetry Soup honourably mentioned poet
Should I don the shorts of a boxer?
Gloves, boots, and with a gum shield on!
Should I climb into a boxing ring?
And listen to the crowd’s almighty din!
Should I face my opponent?
Tremble at his sight!
Should I set out to kill him?
As it’s possible I might!
Why I ask am I fighting?
Dislike him I do not!
Yet in the ring personalities change!
And I’m fired up a lot.
We exchange blows to the body and head!
Fall; stand up as not yet dead!
At last one takes the count of ten.
His loss, my gain, as I’m victorious, once again!
