A wrestling poem

Dale Shireman 1978 (FtScott)

Rhymed
A wrestling poem. There have been hunger pains… There have been countless strains… There have been hours of drills… There have been disastrous spills...There have been pounds I had to loose… There have been hard decisions I had to choose... There is a battle to fight... I promise to fight with all my might.... Because there is no place to hide… In a circle that is only 28 feet wide…
