you don't bring a knife to a gunfight  
a street fight is no good at home  
though plenty of cows at a bullfight  
out there where the buffalo roam  
no cats at a dogfight, but airplanes  
and food fights are rare over food  
be careful of imminent migraines  
from fistfights in your neighborhood  
a pillow fight, girls in pajamas  
might be about nothing at all  
or might lead to cockfights and dramas  
about who is having a ball
