A poem about a bout

My friend had purchased tickets 

To the boxing match

He planned to take his nephew 

But the flu his nephew did catch 

 

My friend asked if I would like to go

I told him 'I don't know'

He said 'What don't you know?'

I said 'I don't know what it's about'

 

My friend said 'What are you talking about?

You know what it's about 

It's about two guys hitting each other

Trying to knock each other out'

 

I said 'If that's what it's about

I'd rather not go to the bout 

About that I have no doubt'

He said 'Ok, I'll throw the ticket out'
