The School Yard Bully.
I've seen so many bullies in my lifetime at work, school and play,My Father told me how he dealt with one, on way to school one day,
My Daddy told me as a boy he faced frequently at school,
A school yard bully who hit and geered, behaving like a fool.
He took pencils, pens and stationery and even took their lunch,
And if you dare complain you're decked with a right hook punch,
He teased and geered and called you names shouting uncontrollably,
Taunting you with cruel and nasty words, without accountability.
So one morning on way to school this bully confronted my Dad on a bridge,
My Daddy hesitated to pass him by, but mustered up courage,
The bullyboy walked up and pushed my Dad, followed by a left hook and right,
But my Daddy would not back down, for this bully started the fight.
Daddy responded with a front kick, and an upper cut big blow,
The bully lied flat on his back with nothing else to show,
He muttered and babbled language that no one understood,
And then he started vomiting, all his breakfast food.
Passers by believed that, for this bully that was enough,
But this bad boy bully got up again and just shrugged it off,
He then took up a very large stone shaking off his earlier blows,
He hurled this stone at my Dad who ducked sideways and low.
Missing this deadly missile my Dad survived to tell,
Should he not have dodged this stone, his day would not be well,
Daddy replied with a swift left hook, an uppercut and right,
There endeth all actions and activities of this fight.
The bully laid on his back with a broken jaw and screamed,
"Oh mama, help me mama, this got to be a dream".
"There was no other way my son to deal with that big bad brute.
That's why he got a peppering, that's nothing but the truth".
When you tell his mother how her rotten child behave,
She responds with arrogance deserving of a cave.
And then there were onlookers who did not intervene,
But the fight was over with the bully's ruptered spleen,
Students and neighbors giggled in disgust but approved,
That this bully feared by the kids was from the streets removed.
This was a lesson to all the other bullies so they'll learn,
That bullying those of smaller stature could one day give you burns,
Daddy said, "When you are being bullied my son, do not break the law".
"But this was a case of self defence when I broke this bully's jaw".
