I'll be seeing you again, Mr. Punchman, come shine or rain!
Recently, I have a new companion
Inside the Exercise Room of my Condo Apartment
Where for at least ninety minutes each week I train.

Mr. Punchman is a mute and deaf manikin -
Made of strong plastic with durable foam inside,
Whom I can punch as hard as I can,
Using only my bare hands.

A punching bag, atop a free-standing base,
Which I filled up with heavy gravel:
So, when punched, 'cross the floor it won't travel;
To add some colour, I painted up Mr. Punchman's face.

Mr. Punchman is about five to six feet tall,
His height is adjustable to suit users all.
He has a head, torso, but no arms;
He can't punch back and can cause no one any harm!

I clad Mr. Punchman in an orange T-shirt then -
You don't mind my kneeing and kicking you?
Or giving you finger-jabs, rapid punches, one and two?
O Mr. Punchman, you're so accommodating, Thank YOU!
