At 58 was no delight sight

Pressure,
Boxing me into this two foot,
By two foot-
Space,
The thrill of the future,
The chill of the past,
None shall last.

Silence for Ali. 
A hero in and out of the ring.
For justice in every round,

To the high hill of a mile
Where even the sun can't find me,
The moon can't hide in 
Somewhere very close to the sky

Billy Bob King the boxer felt
entitled to punch below the belt.
Not because he was a cheating swine.
His lack of height, set a low punchline.

A boxer lost a prestigious fight,
His nose was a flood,
With masses of blood,
He won't be boxing tonight!

And she does it all her own way
She knitted a scarf
As long as a wharf
Guess what I got on Christmas Day?

If spiderman's missing
New York city falls
If superman's sleeping
The world burns.
But I don't really care
As long as my fellow poet are here.

When mum carts the rubbish away

The boxing was really quite daft
They kept social distance
No punch met resistance
But one caught a cold from the draught

THE VEIL

The veil is off we can see
The real you and your true face
Standing together
Yet standing apart
The boxing gloves are on
And they’re string up tight

The Great Boxer

Mohammad Ali,
a butterfly and a bee
is no more,

a unique figure 
in the boxing field
the world has ever
seen and experienced
the world will remember forever.

Whenever he spoke it was a shout
He charged through life like a boxing bout
He took the blows and stood
He was a tree of hardwood
But soft his voice when I would doubt

Premium Member Punch Drunk

He should never have stepped in the ring

Because he had no talent to bring 

Even though he battled

His brain just got rattled 

And now he can't remember a thing
