“All Comers”
There was once in Americana a contest to beat most
This event held almost daily by a most ungracious host
The carnival grounds featured men who would fight if so dared
With local towns people who were quite often feared
Athletic shows prospered as well as many local police
If the fix was in by a patch everyone got his or her piece
On the bally a man shouted, “We take on all comers, challengers if you like”
“We’re putt ‘in up some cash for you to win if you could fight”
Egos were toyed with but never to be broken
Until...
