Proof of a Girl

She sat outside the office, pride in her heart.
"Girls don't fight," the boy'd said,
but boy, did she prove him wrong.

The zero-tolerance policy at school
landed her in the hall, Mom in the office,
talking to the boss.

She'd thrown the first punch,
and therefore, was in the wrong-
"You think I'm bad?
You should see him," was her response.
