bad precedent

roosevelt enjoyed boxing
liked to box
stood in the ring
had the prowess of a fox.
you, mr. bad precedent,
polish your white box,
so you can sport self-branded socks,
possibly self-branded crocks,
while you watch others box,
claw, kick, scrape,
peck like gamecocks,
for your royal birthday bash,
as king of an ugly, social pox.
