Let us Pause

In this corner, wearing blue trunks,
Stands the professor, looking appropriately outraged.
In the opposite corner wearing red trunks,
Looking altogether righteous, the cop glares

This fight, viewed by fans everywhere
Will almost certainly prove justice can triumph,
While assuring reason,
Can not overcome “The Fog of Bores”.

But wait! Our esteemed referee,
Having shown early prejudice,
Has recovered his fabled balance,
Now calls the pugilists to center ring.

Both fighters and their legions of supporters,
Seem ready to mumble, but not rumble.
It seems possible that neither camp
Will throw chairs or bombs.

“Sometimes a good cigar is just a smoke”. (S, Freud).
