ready for black belt test
green is the arena
protected by aura
fairy umbrella dewed
like teddy
eddy whorls
but steady
spready tail
winning wed

"Ki-Ahp!" I draw back my arm like a sword,
stepping back to challenge, before bracing forward.
Like weapons meeting, grunting lips clink,
each movement controlled, bodies never link.
Roundhouse kicks swing, kumgang punches pop.
Whirlwinds can be felt with each rapid chop.
Maneuvers are blocked with reflexes swift.
From side to side, back and forth we shift.
Rhythmically flowing like a rehearsed dance,
we give-and-take with each emboldened glance.
A stern whistle blows; we wipe our moist brows,
then respectfully shake hands, after our bows.

Mag's lover hasn't been seen since.
Mag does nothing but in pain wince.
Her tall Greg was her world,her Prince.
"Once dead Forget A Come-Back means! "
Hoe was popularly Greg's foe;
Thus,his dad's farm refused to grow.
A lot Greg had slept on a mat
And guessed not he'd be adding fat.
Off he had to go for slimming
And with Kung Fu started trimming.
Mag had heard of karate king clegg!
"What could he not do to a leg?
Keeps breaking it as voices beg,
Unless he's served wine: A full keg
The purest tap relieved not of dreg"
"Clegg must've finished the legs of Greg!"
“I know karate”
his smile kicks
180 degree radius
at his brother
that’s what little brothers do
A bit worried -
grandma’s sock filled with marbles
making a loopty-loop
a pending privates joke

I went to karate to learn how to kick
And there I found a super sweet chick
I wanted her to give me a lick
So I axe kicked in half a large stack of brick
Before I could brag my sensei asked for a meeting
In the back room with uncomfortable seating
He said my kicks were so EPIC I must have been cheating
So do me a favor before i give you a beating
Raise up your leg and show me those feet
I want to see what i'm about to eat
After that i was always late for karate
Cause I stay home all day gaming in glee
"At least my video games aren't hungry for me"

Black belt karate on a strict lovely wife
Is very important in a family's life.
Kids are not stealing any sweet stuff,
Obedient husband as quiet, as a calf.
Knees quivered, but he stood
Keeping breaths in control.
Kata after kata
Kicked out years of fat and
Ketch up. For this, he'd a
Knack! The cute girl from work
Knocked him out on day two.

I once was a boy who was scared of his karate teacher the most,
He would yell and scream, our faces would be so close.
During one lesson, I had to go number one and time was running out fast,
I didn’t dare ask him to go, so there I went in the middle of class,
The girl next to me pointed at the puddle, and screamed “Ewww! That’s gross!”
Tae Kwon Do Promotion tests,
And several schools did meet
To take our tests for promotion,
When I first met killer feet
We all sat on the Do-Jo floor'
Awaiting each our turn,
But there was one karate warrior
His feet could kill us all
How he ever showed up,
I'll never figure out such gall
His power wasn't a punch,
Nor a deadly kick to head,
His power was in the stench,
Of his feet instead....
I kid you not,
Smelt like he wore plastic shoes,
and never washed his feet,
Oh, the Tae Kwon Do blues!!
It was hard to keep one's seat
It was hard to remain in the do-jo
I wish we had some air,
While Stench-foot killer student,
Sat totally unaware....
The odor was overpowering,
We gagged, we coughed,
We choked,
As stench foot sat there,
His foot he gently stroked....
He was by far the scariest student,
Even sitting there,
The odoriferous attack in
The surrounding air....
So if you join that do-jo,
Bring a nose clip too,
Before the stench of feet,
Gets the best of you!
Dad is not happy when mom is with him
Watching a karate film
She employs what she sees
