The Contest
.
Two thumpers upon the sand
Held a contest hand-to-hand
Or was it perhaps paw-to-paw?
.
“You boxing bunnies beware
I expect a fight that’s fair”
That ref, he did not hem or haw
.
The crowd came up to see
Who would the victor be?
Skinny Jim or Fats Mackinaw?
.
Jim was lean and rougher
Fats was stout and tougher
Both were the best you ever saw
.
Jabs were fast and stinging
Hooks set long ears ringing
The crowd gasped with each rabbit punch
.
When the last bell sounded
Bunnies were confounded
Who had won? No one had a hunch
.
Restless crowds mur-muring
Judges all conferring
To decide they were in a crunch
.
The ref he raised Fatty’s arm
Jim said “Fats, ya done no harm”
“In fact Champ, you can pay for brunch”
.
In the diner the real contest:
With knife and fork they’d prove who’s best
These rabbits both knew how to munch
.
In the end Fats retreated
Champ once, now he’s defeated…
‘Twas Jim that ate the bigger lunch
.
And so the contest ended
These sluggers once contended,
Skinny Jim and Fats Mackinaw,
Two friends – the best you ever saw.
