Standing Ovation

a kiss with the fists

instantly changes 

the flow of conversation,

the heavyweight drunk 

weighs in with his 

tales of inebriation,

he sweats profusely

as he flaps his jaw loosely, 

perfecting his Donald Trump 

impersonation, 

his balls to the wall 

interpretation  

receives a 

standing ovation, 

the managing committee 

marketed their bright young hope

as the new Bruce Lee,

I had a hunch the sucker 

couldn’t perform a 1inch punch

“to save his bloody bacon”

he proved me wrong,

as he centred his chi,

quoting Chinese philosophy,

his camaraderie 

garnered 

pure elation, 

what followed next was 

a standing ovation,

the kamikaze triple jointed 

underdog kickboxer 

floored the main contender

with a damming low blow Pierrot 

whilst smoking a cigarette,

he had no regret 

for his nous or gesticulation,

this was his opponents frustration,

his unwavering confidence

and cocky demeanour

was the initiation 

to a giant 

standing ovation,

will 

all 

those 

in 

the

front

rows

please

sit 

down!
