Stupidity Cannot Defeat Youth Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

Bobby Riggs
bragged more than;
any man should.
But not more than;
any extreme; male chauvinist would.

Billy Jean the King
played soft shots to bait him;
but with deceptive deadly precision.
Before slamming killer shots to crucify him;
achieving an invincible; dominant court positioning.

Riggs bragged
but King made him;
eat crow don’t you know.
Stupidity defeated;
before strategic; intuitive youth.

Life is a complex game
where invariably;
adaptation achieved successfully.
Is a skilled master play;
where a little forethought; goes a long way.
