Basher Bill, the boxing champ, retired undefeated.
But there’s one fight he didn’t win, for death would not be cheated.
The very last to box him was his local undertaker.
Laid low, at last, our Basher Bill went up to meet his maker.
And for his epitaph they wrote: “No need to count to ten!
I’ve had my chips, I’m down and out, I won’t get up again!”

He he. Brilliant! Did you do the illustration, too?
Thanks Celia. No, that came from some print and colour in site. If I could draw and play guitar, I’d be a made man. I won’t ever be able to learn to draw. I have a guitar though. It’s time to get down to those lessons…
