Salute

Cassius Clay

the great, great, great

courageous man

spoke his mind

all the time mostly

 in pose and rhyme

fought his way

through the climb

He was indeed

"THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME"

he float like a butterfly

he sting like a bee

changed his name to

Muhammad Ali

"I"M PRETTY"

he proclaimed to be

entered the ring and

fought like a beast

a falling soldier

seen no war but

fought many battles

a born champion

he proved to be

may he Rest in Peace
