The Coach (revised)

You take it on the chin
With a stupefied grin
Like there isn't much else you can do.

You roll with the punches,
Ignore all your hunches
Because she still parries with you.

If you asked for advice
I'd say, 'Find someone nice
Or just shadow-box for a while.'

'Throw in the towel
And hold in your howl;
At least you can lose her in style.'
