Donnybrook

Where were you when the fight broke out?
Under a table?
Out on the edge?
I was flat-footed, smack dab in the middle,
Caught in the melee,
Stuck on a ledge.

Tried to play peacemaker. Nobody listened.
Tried to back out but
The exit was blocked.
Vainly attempted to punch my way clear.
Only succeeded in
Getting cold-cocked.

I don’t remember just how it all ended
Since I was unconscious,
Senses askew.
No one would even say how it all started.
I was blind-sided.
Were you?
