A small dark man who stands alone. <br />He gives respect where it is due <br />but owes allegiance to none. <br />and he expects respect from you. <br /> <br />He has an air of confidence, <br /> each move is made with fluid grace. <br />No one should doubt his competence. <br />A man who knows his rightful place. <br /> <br />Although he’s small he has no fear <br /> he knows his own ability. <br />The warning signs are very clear <br /> it is not wise to challenge me. <br /> <br />But if you do I’m sure he can <br />Show you who is the better man.<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-quiet-man/
