Karate Man - Part One
.
Brian Hines and Donny
Owens, were walking on their beat,
When a guy in Mitsy's
Restaurant, beckoned from his seat.
They both went to investigate,
wondering what was wrong,
It couldn't be too serious,
and would not take them long.
.
The first thing that
he asked them, was how to spell a word,
It was the strangest
thing, that both had ever heard.
Galleleo, was the word,
he asked them how to spell,
What would happen next,
no one could really tell.
.
Suddenly the guy ran
off, this was an eat, no pay,
With Don and Brian chasing
him, they would save the day,
They quickly got him
cornered, and then the fight began,
Don would be the hero,
for he's Karate Man.
.
But this guy, was not
impressed, with Donnie's fighting skill,
And it soon became apparent,
that someone's blood would spill.
The first two punches
landed, putting Brian on the floor,
Then Don moved in, determined
to, even up the score.
.
The guy turned 'round
and faced him, ready for a fight,
He threw a punch left
handed, another with his right.
The first one landed
solidly, cutting Donnie's nose,
As Donnie staggered
backward, Brian then arose.
.
Now Don may have a black
belt, but this guy would not be beat,
For he was black all
over, from his head down to his feet.
To top it off, he is
a nut, as crazy as a loon,
Whose brain is off in
outer space, somewhere near the moon
.
Our Don is not a quitter,
he would lead the way,
Quickly charging forward,
he got back in the fray.
Helping Brian hold the
guy, Rupert was his name,
Until the troops could
get there, and join them in this game.
.
Then the war was over,
with Rupert laid out cold,
There it was decided,
that this story must be told,
And like every first
run movie, that has a sequel too,
I guess you'll have
to wait for, Karate Man - Part Two
