1257 - The ring

Been out a lot this week and it’s borne fruit
(Though scary sometimes): I’m learning to read
Music at the choir as I sing bass parts
While Monday, Wednesday, Thursday saw me read
Poems at various events, instead
Of being stuck at home; this way new friends
Are coming my way, though some law decreed
That it has to be tough from start to end
When my corner’s under attack, defend
Hide behind the gloves; love is in pursuit
Somewhere behind the adversary’s head
Maybe a hug will follow; it depends
On staying in the ring and on my feet
Not being put off by the odd nosebleed
