I met a man upon an old mule

who challenged me to a mental duel,

but did this man make a mistake,

for I was clever, not a fake!

I met a woman on a horse

who wondered if I’d stay the course,

but her concern was overrated,

for I stayed longer than I stated.

I met a small child with broken toys

who was teased by other girls and boys;

who wondered if I truly cared,

or if I only stopped and stared.

There are many people in my wake

who wondered if I were true or fake

and I hope that most of them had found

that if things were tough, I’d stick around.
