Toughness

Areyou tough?

Areyou rough?

Areyou really strong enough?

Orare you so much frill and fluff?

Anamby-pamby powder puff.

 

Ifyou really know your stuff

Youcould even run a bluff.

Justtoss a comment off-the-cuff or

Mumblelike a grumble gruff.

 

Butif you run off in a huff

Yougive up claim to your rebuff

Andcould wind up flat on your duff

Whenyou find out

You’renot so tough.

 

Toughguys don’t stand up and fight for

Itis no matter of might.

 

Toughnesstarries deep within

Insilence,

Likea trusted friend.
