all talk, just grumbles
Rough and tumble,

addressed, just mumbles
Rough and tumble,

speaks, but bumbles
Rough and tumble,

rises, but crumples
Rough and tumble,

fights, but fumbles
Rough and tumble,

struts, then stumbles


Rough and tumble,
Took a tumble
All a jumble

Now she’s humble


The author's comments:
One night while I was working on another poem, I heard the phrase "rough and tumble" from the evening news. My mind immediately whirled with possible poems. Through some evolutions, it eventually became the poem it is today.
