This action-packed story-in-verse is about a rooster, named Today, boxing a saber-toothed beast, called Yesterday. The suspense starts with the first word and doesn't end till the last. Will the novice of today beat the veteran of the past? Can a bird beat a beast?
Excerpt:
On this millennium night, in this epic fight, the saber-toothed beast called Yesterday took the first quick jab. A nimble stab to his opponent's feathery face. He was going to try to set the pace in this fight comeback story. In this juicy allegory. And use all his energy to control the middle of the ring.
Yesterday was going to do his thing with haste. He wanted his opponent to get a real good taste of his boxing glove. He wanted his opponent to fall in love with his punch. To munch on his knuckles as he unbuckled this ass beating. This fist to face greeting. This meeting between the new and the old. The timid and the bold. The baby boy against the grown man. The novice versus the veteran.
Bing! He shuffled around the ring and threw another heated blow. His opponent was just too damn slow.
