one’s fighting for Allah
the other for Christ
who packs the biggest
punch in his fist
Muhammad Ali
was once The Greatest
now Leon Spinks is
the very latest
the Champion lost
his Heavyweight Crown
why was he a boxer
when he could have been a clown
(1978)[PS: a few months later, Ali defeated Spinks in a rematch, becoming World Heavyweight Champion for a record third time…]
"floats like a butterfly
stings like a bee"
boasts about his prowess
repeatedly
never learnt much
humility
except perhaps
till recently
now Parkinson's has all
but knocked him out
shadow-boxing Ali
shuffles about
(2004)
