Attila the Hun ran away
like a little girl
in tears.
What on earth
could provoke
his most primal fears?
Genghis Khan cried for his mommy
to hold him
tight
as Alexander the Great
wore diapers
and lost the fight.
Ivan the Terrible,
smart man,
now just stays away
in order to live
and press wildflowers
for another day.
The Knights of the Round Table
indulge
in a liquid lunch.
When their asses were kicked
they became
a sorry bunch.
It's a battle
that no man
can ever win.
Even the fiercest warrior had been kicked,
repeatedly,
in the shin.
So you may be
a world conqueror
but please be aware
as you come slowly
into the fire
of her evil stare
with a woman on a mission
who pushes
a shopping cart
down the aisles
of the consumer jungle
known as Wal*Mart!
