Rocky

You're about six-two
You weigh in
At about
Two hundred pounds
Pure stone
You look like
A twenty-one
Year Old
Sylvester Stallone
They even
call you
Rocky.

What I wouldn't do
To go ten rounds
With you
And your
Muscle.

The towel
Would only be
Thrown in
When I needed
Something
To wipe
Your dead children
Off
My chin
The ones
I wasn't fortunate
Enough
To swallow.

Ding!
