The Terrible Thing About Cindy

The terrible thing about Cindy
Is she packs a powerful punch.

I learned this yesterday at school
When I tried to take her lunch.

 I had only meant to tease her,

To make her squeal and twist.

The last thing I expected
Was her calculated fist.

 She socked me in the stomach;

She’s more than slightly deft.
And sent me stumbling to my knees
As she snatched her lunch and left.

 After that I was quite sorry

I had tussled with a pro –
I wish my friends had told me

 That she practiced tae kwon do.
