Randori

Onegai shimasu
Uke strikes first
And will not hesitate
Nage will quench a thirst
That will not wait
Eloquent grace is the goal
That can be seen
We all must fit a proper role
Be you big or be you lean
Hajime! Sensei said
I am no book
I won’t be read
Left or right
You will not know
Try irimi then try kokuyho.
Do not think
Do not look twice
Make a link
Then do it thrice
If this was too fast for you
There is no true need to worry
Next week they will ask “Who?”
Who, was in your Randori?
Domo arigato gozaimashita
