They can't fool me

I Know What It Was

They said it was just

an owl in the tree

but they didn’t

fool me.

I saw teeth

not a beak,

red eyes

not gold,

and I won’t be told

it was only

fluff and feathers

round its throat;

it was a collar

and those weren’t wings

but silky folds

of a black,black cloak.

It was no

Too-wit, too woo

I heard

It was

I’ll get you-ou!

My Speech

MMA I can’t believe there are actually people in the world who even think about marginalising and banning MMA. are you kidding me.

It’s a pure one on one sport that proves who was the tougher man that night.

I absolutely hate it when I hear people talking about the trouble fighters have to go through.  Really. Fighters choose to fight, they aren’t forced to fight. They know what they’re getting themselves into. it’s their choice, yet there are still people going on and on about the fighters being forced to fight. Come on guys it’s not ancient rome with gladiators. In MMA the fights are sanctioned. Fighters choose if they want to fight or not. If they choose to fight they have to go through medical examinations to see if they are healthy and fit enough to fight.

MMA can be a dangerous sport but tell me how many people have died in sanctioned fights? Z-E-R-O, zero. There is a much bigger risk of kids copying moves from watching the WWE or even Bruce lee kung fu movies. People consider MMA being much more dangerous than many other sports including fishing, cheerleading, football, nascar, motocross and rugby.

Banning MMA would be such a ridiculous idea. It basically mixes all the other combat sports like boxing, kickboxing, wrestling and jiu jitsu
