BILLY THE KID

 

The noble art of pugilism

It has often been called

Not all would agree

And some are just appalled

Young fighter Billy Owen

Was barely standing

After being pounded

For three rounds in the ring

It was so noisy you couldn’t

Hear the bell sound

The ring of the bell

To mark the end of the round

The battered and bloody

Boxer sat on his stool

If you’d seen him, you’d

Agree the sport is cruel

The corner man took a look

And gave his view

“You’re doing ok kid

He’s not laid a glove on you”

The kid replied

“Then keep an eye on the referee”

“Because someone’s

Beating the crap out of me”
