The Price of Being Bold

Chin up Darling,

There’s only one way to go into the ring.

Don’t show your upper hand.

Shoulders back, now stand.

Pull the punch, make it hard.

Knuckles like glass shards.

To entice the bold ones to show their cards.

Superstitious warm their dice,

But the vicious throw them like ice.

Victors never show their upper hand,

They cover the tracks in the sand.

If you want to earn the pile of gold,

First you must learn the price of being bold.
