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
