The First Pushers Led to This
Pushed out at birth
Pushed to crawl, smile, stand, eat
Pushed for grades and degrees
To find the right partner
To buy the right house
To purchase the right goods
To look the right way
Then
Push for more money
Push your way in
Push the pusher for pills
To perform even better
To climb the ladder
To party harder
To sunburn elsewhere
Maybe
To push the envelope
Then push the boat out
Hopefully
Not get the push
Nor be pushed to the wall
If needed, get another push start
Or at a push, push your luck
Till finally
Pushed aside
Pushed over
Pushing up the daisies
When push comes to shove
I am not a pusher but I can push back
Push: Middle English (as a verb): from Old French pousser, from Latin pulsare ‘to push, beat, pulse. Pulse: late Middle English: from Latin pulsus ‘beating’, from pellere ‘to drive, beat’.
