To Muhammed Ali

Oh! Poet of Brawls
Your count has ended
1, 2, ...and 10
You are a poet no more
A fighter no more
There is no sting
and there is no flight
no more
Your count has ended
1,2 ...and 10
No more spunk
no more attitude
no more trash talk
That may be
but something else
will always be
That the counts will not take away
Your count may have ended
1,2 ... and 10
But you are
Immortal if anything that can be
That's what you are
Your count may have ended
1,2 ...and 10
You are a Champion
Stand over death and let the count go
1,2 ...and 10
