And plunge it in infinite fire,
Your wrath is eternal damnation,
But man’s is more lasting dire.

The Sunflower Kid
By Koffdrop DeHaven.
A few years back, in my palmy days, when the boxing game was grand,
I tipped the scales at a hundred and ten; had a punch in either hand;
But I never was a top notch, the reason for which I’ll tell,
I was learning a trade in a boiler shop; I worked, and worked like everything;
