Poem 142 - Hand Wrestling


I foolishly challenged my friend to hand wrestle with me
We both put our hands up, each others eyes and hands we did see
The winner would get a chocolate , sponsored by another friend
So still, the winner - money he didn't need to spend

He was too powerful for, this weakling me
His hands hurt mine, I begged for mercy
My friend relished on the chocolate bar
While I sat with my aching hands in my car

  1. Hey, I like the way you rhymed this and managed to fit the three little words in so seamlessly!

  2. Well done indeed - it's a pity, but you can't win them all, not even for chocolate.

  8. Arm wrestle for pizza maybe, chocolate I could always pass on. Nice one, put some ice on the arm now.

  9. I think you are the winner, your friend just had a chocolate that disappeared, whereas your poem is read for a long time. Cheers.
