I was in a bar one night,
When the whole darned place got in a fight,
A bloody nose from one dude's fist,
A round-house swing that barely missed,
Fists were flying all around,
One guy went falling to the ground,
Bar stools were thrown, a broken mirror,
A woman's voice I did then hear,
Behind the bar off to my right,
Why is it you avoid the fight?
I stopped to have myself a thought,
For as a child had once I fought,
I'd plumb forgot the reason why
I always let a fight go by.
Then I remembered, out of the blue,
It just hit me, and then I knew.

A lesson learned as a child stays with us.

Very good.

Love,

LOL @ the ending... participation is a lot more painful than observation... in bar fights, as in life! *S*

Enjoyed!

Hi Tim,

I liked this as well. You make good use of your metaphor.
