Joe Rosochacki - TKO or Was It a Draw

It was the geriatric-weight championship of Cuyahoga Falls,
It was not A Thrilla’ in Manila nor a Madison Square Garden,
Or a Bungle in the Jungle, it wasn’t Pay-Per-View,
It was in the Gardens of Western Reserve Nursing Home
In God’s honest truth what were they thinking?
It was the first round and the fighters came out swinging,
George Manos, in white trunks, took a pounding,
By Edith Walker, in the black trunks, who kept bringing,
Blows upon Manos after Manos egged her on,
Edith, who was no dingbat, attacked George from the back.
Edith had to be separated from punching bag by outside forces.
All was due to an improperly filled ballot.
Edith had incorrectly filled out her ballot and George was mad,
George wanted to take her allegedly incorrect ballot away.
He wanted to press charges about voter tampering.
Was ACORN responsible for this?
American politics at its best.
