Eight-line Poems 2

Avoidance

Avoidance

A miss is as good as a mile
especially if done with style
like the bullfighter’s caped finesse
or the botched spell of sorceress.

To dodge and to weave is the best
when meeting the boxer’s great test
‘tis better to float than to sting
like Muhammad Ali in ring.
