A Poem by Thayne Whipple

Win

Sep 14, 2015
I’ll tell you who you cannot beat –
The fellow who stays on his feet.
Or if knocked down, he gets back up –
He’s always going to win the cup!
You may be faster, or more wise –
But he will always claim the prize.
He’ll take a punch right to the chin,
And somehow, he will always win.
You try to squash his spirit down,
He’ll come right back, and win the crown.
You beat him ‘til he’s on the floor,
And there he comes, right back for more.
So if a vict’ry is your plan.
You simply have to be that man!
Inspired by:
“You just can’t beat the person who never gives up.”
Babe Ruth
