slide 23


a jiu-jitsu technique lesson full of throws

wreaks havoc on the training teacher's back

for in order that I get to practice those

he has to be the one to hit the sack.

At first we have the wheel throw in which

I double-hander grip rotate his frame

then block his leg and twist another inch

by which his back connects to floor again.

A second throw 'gainst headlock number six

by circling to the front and blocked knee flick

a third becomes a block to roundhouse kicks

and last a bump from clinch and ankle pick

 And then we call it time, for as a rule

 he has to drive his daughters into school
