If I were a punching bag,
I suspect I'd have a hunch
That I'd rather have the boxers
Find something else to punch.

If I were a football,
I know that I'd be sick
And throw up all my breakfast
On the very opening kick.

And If I were a volleyball
Being slapped from side to side,
I'd try to fall upon the ground
And find somewhere to hide.

If a golfer were to drive me
With a sharp, resounding whack,
I'd scamble for some cover
And hope he'd never find my track.

If you haven't guessed, I'll tell you
The theme of this report.
I'm 100 per cent worthless
For any kind of sport.

Wow and ouch! you´ve really beat yourself there! I felt the slaping and kicking just exactly the way you described it. I hope there´s still left of you after all that!
All you need to get yourself out of that violent mess is to tune yourself in love. start with yourself and then move on to another. Donnot jump or you´ll fall...
