The School of Hard Knocks


Welcome to the school of hard knocks

The lesson not taught in any class


Young and tough,

my nephew will quickly forget,

this little slip up

and the karate class he missed


Running in the rain,

doesn’t alway end in pain,

take it from your uncle in Spain


The first step, like the karate class you missed,

demonstrates there is always someone,

ready to knock your block off,

even if that person is yourself


You are not just a brick in the wall,

this schools welcomes all,

young and small, old and tall


If your lesson is learnt

and you are reading this with a smile

you can pass the first wet step


No entrance exam,

you are always welcome at

the school of hard knocks


Knock knock, who's there?

Charlie dusting himself off,

Now go get them champ

I have a black belt in slip ups
