Poem
"BRUCE And ALI" *Written and Dedicated to "Silent One! whose admiration for these two is as mine!* This is a poem about two men who were both extraordinary! Their skills were unmatched and remain so to this day- one's named "BRUCE" and the other "ALI!" Both were "Masters" and really excelled in the world of combative arts! They are both now "legends" and will be forever- for in their time they had no counterparts! One was a master boxer, "The Heavyweight Champion" was he! In the sport known as "the Sweet Science" "The Greatest Of All Time!" was he, you see! His bouts were against the best in his class! His style posed a problem with which to cope! He even came up with a name for it... he called it the.... "Rope-A-Dope!!!" There is a phrase he's now famous for! It is quoted often, you see! Who's never heard and doesn't know- "Float Like A Butterfly- Sting Like A Bee!!!" Now Mr. Bruce Lee, he was one of a kind! There has never been another! This man could do things with his hands and his feet- anyone he faced he "REALLY" could smother! He gave a line in one of his films when an intimidator tried a new tack! The guy broke a board trying to threaten Bruce... Bruce look right at him and said "Boards Don't Hit Back!!!" He was also quite the philosopher. His style was called "Jeet Kune Do!" He said "Be Like Water, My Friend!", and like water you must always "flow!" Now these two men are heroes of mine and forever will they be! One is.... "The Dragon", the other is "The Greatest Of All Time!" They are "BRUCE" and the other's.... "ALI!" "ALI!" "ALI!" (WTA-IV) 3/6/2016
