    The Poem of David and Goliath 
In those days of long ago‚
A battle fought between two foes. 
Goliath shown‚ a Giant tall‚
Against young David to stand or fall!

A challenge sounded out that day‚
T’ward the camp sent Israel’s way.
A call to arms for one lone man‚
Against that Giant there to stand!

One on one to fight each there
Two lone warriors‚ their strength to bear. 
Winners then would take things all‚
The losing side‚ to slavery’s call!

T’was in those days this battle fought
Between two foes
