As he stepped into the ring, Everyone his name did sing. They wanted him to win The title, for the commoners. The title in his last fight.
He was out of practice, His reflexes had slacked. Gloves, boxers, guard, did him justice There was something which he lacked. Lacked in his last fight.
Before he could hear his favorite song, Followed by the nerve-racking gong. He had a look around To catch a familiar sight, Have a look at her before his last fight.
He checked the stands, Then glanced around the ropes And before he had given all hopes He heard a familiar sound Right before the first round. Go hubby go! Punch him left and right! She screamed with all her might. Putting a smile on his face, And then he boxed like an ace. Winning the title, just for her. The title in his last fight.
In this poem I have tried to capture the role of a boxer's wife to lift his spirits before the boxing match.
