My
Do
(Antisensei
Version)
And now, the end is near;
And so I face my final
grading.
Sensei, I'll say it
clear,
I've paid my fee for darker
shading.
I've trained less than I
should.
I've dodged the heat and
took a deep bow; But more, much more than
this, I did it my Do.
KiAis, I've made a few;
But then again, too few to
mention. I shirked what I had to do
And bungled through without exemption.
I loitered at each training
course;
Each higher step led to my next
low,
But more, much more than this, I did it my
Do.
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew When
I cadged more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt, I
covered up and fooled the crowd. I sweet-talked all and had to
stall;
And did it my Do.
I've bragged,
I've bribed and lied.
I scratched my nose; my share of
bruising. And now, as fists collide,
I find it all so
abusing.
To think I did all that; And may I say - not
with a kept vow,
„No,
oh no not me, I did it my Do“.
For
what is a quack, what has he got? If no loud mouth, then he
has naught.
To say the things that most
appeal;
And never cares to whom to kneel.
The record shows I did brown-nose And did it my
Do!
