Audacity Poem... Comments

My father would say this to just to say it and I memorized it. I just google it. I didn't know it was a poem from T. K.Owens

My aunt's taught this poem to my sisters and I sometime around 1953. We used to have great fun springing this on friends and strangers as if we meant to challenge them. My aunts were born about 1900 and 1912. This poem has been around for sometime.
