By Franklin Price
02/10/2022

Through all our years together

Man have you seen all the stuff
that they’re spreading these days?
Beaming it through the air

 Jumped into his old blue jeans
 Slipped his hand into his pocket
 Found enough change for a drink

Twelve rounds of excitement
Two rivals smiling in the middle of enchantment

The bell rang...
Both fighters were wild
Two rough hands still mild
The bell rang again -- end of first round.

Baiting bodies,...
