The 4 Horsemen of the Debate Apocalypse

by Thien-An Nguyen

Four Horsemen of debate
Disputation is an easy game
Opposition decides it’s fate;
Trying these four is a big mistake.

Spencer,
The first horseman
And Debate’s Grim Reaper.
His posts are honest
And don’t crack under pressure.
If you don’t have a plan,
To go up against,
Well, the easy defeat would be his pleasure.

Joshua,
He’s the second horseman;
And the team’s ferry
How eloquent is he?
The answer is very.
Resident Mandalorian
And NSA’s Historian
But don’t mess with him,
Or things will turn quite scary.

Samuel Stevens
The third horseman
Easy to defeat? Nope, not even.
Dealer of Death and as Samuel said,
“Killing your opponents makes it easy.”

Ethan Guynn
The last, the harbinger, and most well-read
Presenting a case, he is most adept
Don’t try to beat this one,
You can try, but you can’t
Just ask the guy questions
And learn from him instead.

Backed with sources,
Armed with words,
The next defeat
Just might be yours.
