hometown

Home town
Yesterday I saw him play billiards, a famous man
There are not many celebrities in my hometown 
We have not many things to be proud safe for 
A duck pond in the center, geese and rats in 
The basement of the café
The famous one was once a boxer in the USA
But never made it to the top, but came back 
In my hometown, his fame was assured; he had
Floored Sonny Liston in the third round, but
Liston won the match
A friendly man who hides his sadness, of not
Being famous in America
In the years to come, he will be pointed out 
“See the man over there, a lovely mover, once
He floored Sonny Liston.”
