En Garde, Pret, Allez!
Alexander L. Mandel
En garde, prêts, allez!
If you lose a fight then smile say touché!
When you pivot and you parry
And leave no time to tarry
Soon you'll find a perfect repartee
En garde, prêts, allez!
First you're winning, then your plans all go astray
When the world makes you feel dizzy
Don't go into a tizzy
Turn your spinning into a ballet
En garde prêts allez!
Politics is a game we all must play
If at first you don't succeed
Change your tactics, don't concede
Until you can proceed another way
En garde, prêts, allez!
Do whatever is required win the day
When you have a clear objective
You're sure to be effective
When you make your family your forte
En garde prêts allez!
