Thumper Thinks Out Loud

From The Old Works Files:
My Stomach Heaves Over The Dojang

To the tune of My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean

Why doesn't my sidekick look beautiful?
My round kick and front kick won't pass
Tornado kicks make me look stupid
As I try and fall flat on my ...

Situps, pushups
And one million jumping jacks
Don't you see?
Situps, pushups
They tell me it's call T-K-D

My forms look like some old grandmother
Came straight from a 3 valve Bypass
She rejected the notion of white belt
And jumped into the next Black Belt Class

Situps, pushups
And two million jumping jacks
Don't you see?
Situps, pushups
I don't know what has come over me

The kata are hyungs so they tell me
Or poomse for the really uptight
But Poom is an underage Black Belt
And sparring ain't Kumite, right?

Situps, pushups
And three million jumping jacks,
Don't you see?
Situps, pushups
I owe everything to Master Rhee....
