Lil (B) Oxer

She stands about 5 foot one A local beauty, with dreams and brawn, Who does not want to be remembered as a princess or a queen But, instead as a badass boxer, who is fearless and mean. For 10 weeks she has religiously trained With strength, experience and knowledge she has gained, It now all leads up to tonight When the bell rings, she will be ready to fight. But, in that ring she will not be all alone She'll have the skills that she did hone, And of course her corner will scream and yell At the sounding of the ringside bell. Like all boxers she has complained and cried But, now she's ready to release that tiger inside, And tonight she will prove proudly to one and all That she is a boxer, and she will not fall. Her boxing shoes are both now laced Upon her fists the gloves are now placed, Into the ring she is now prepared to enter Skill and desire, is now her mentor. She fiercely pounds her gloves together twice As she reflects the road here, and the price, And because of her suffering and all of her pain Tonight in the Boxing ring, she will reign. Randy L.
