Cassius Clay, a slave wouldn't be
Renamed himself Muhammed Ali
Became a proud African-American male
~ Then was sentenced to five years in jail

“Who me? "No! Never! Nay!"
’Tis yon Cassius’ gig.

Muhammad Ali
Floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee
Receiving end of his lumber
You'll know you've gone under

I feel all of myself around him.
I see myself in beautiful eyes
I feel pure
I feel strong
I feel real
Alive.
And yet at the same time
I don't crave his body
No, just his soul.
Just my Cassius.
I feel the old me slip into who I am
As if the real me was hidden beneath layers.

Free verse
( regarding My Current Situation)
Rumor has it, I'm looking to
steal her Boyfriend, away
When I, no such intentions,
did convey
Despite, what she hears or
what People say
Still, with dukes-up, does she
come like Cassius Clay
If only I, offering Words of
Wisdom, could make her sttray
Seeing as how, he, attention to
Me, doesn't pay
Yet, if I the TENTH COMMANDMENT
could just obey
Would I not, in this Predicament,
continously stay

Dramatic Verse
The man was a legend.
So farewell, Cassius Clay, Ali
You knocked out a bit of poetry
That butterfly one sure packed a sting
And well done on the boxing thing
Mohammed, man, you’re counted out
You gave the boxing thing a shout
Wrote rhyme to make a grown man cry
And dodged the draft like a butterfly
Ali, you’ve packed your final punch
Man, you took boxing out to lunch
Men say that you are God today
Who made Mohammed out of Clay

Muhammad Ali
Taunting with poetry,
His opponents he'd zing
As he danced 'round the ring.
There once was a boy Cassius Clay
Who dreamt to be greatest some day
When then in a bout
One punch in the mouth
On the canvas poor Liston would lay
Worse than Liston's performance that day
Were the lyrics by Robert Goulet
"Oh say can you see, by the dawn's early night"
Was as much of a flop as the fight!
