Got stripes.
       Got scars.
            Got callouses.

                        Took licks
  
Got trauma.
Got.............drama.
Got skills......& still. Getting tested by
By pencil necks in droopy pants...or tight nut huggers.
Still trying to read and play pretty.

I still got all my canines ...jaw lock is tenacious. Can be hard or gracious.
Best of both worlds.
                       You can
Play at your own risk.
