There’s a speak your weight machine in Leeds
It’s instructions for use are a breeze
I thought it was neat
Got on in bare feet
It said one at a time if you please
The world heavyweight title defender
Lost his belt to the leading contender,
But there wasn't a chance
Of him losing his pants;
He was wearing his trusty suspenders.
His Last Fight
Muhammad Ali was a three time heavyweight champ
Who leaves his opponents with his stamp.
He believed he could not be beat,
But years of fight brought him down deep.
Such a heavyweight
Upon your shoulders plate
The cross you bear
You shouldn't be carrying it because
Jesus has already carried it to the tomb

hawk flies over my head
he is traveling low
I glance up and see him land on a tree limb
he is a beauty, tan and white
gone before I can snap a photo
I am glad I am a heavyweight
can you imagine being picked up by those talons?
THE WATERHOLE
Two elephants merge
at the waterhole ~
entanglement of trunks
one emerges as
the gray-fountain leader ~
heavyweight of the dusty road
two images wane
in monotone gloaming ~
wispy clouds of dust

Challenged
And under-defeated
He braced,
Turnbuckle against his spine
Nervous
And over-perturbed
He bounced,
Mat against his heel
Champion
And agin-heavyweight
He sparred,
Air against his fist
Heavy weight still a
MAVERICK I am still one
Even when I am
Quiet, I feel it all the
Time I am a shining
Diamond in my own sky
The unmatchable one
Sun -Of -a -Gun. Ha
HEAVYWEIGHT MAVERICK
Born I die to live life
A Maverick I die to live
PERIOD
The young man was tough
and got his job done.
A heavyweight Champ
at just twenty some.
Most of those men
who gave it a run.
Were flat on the canvas
from a right uppercut.
Iron Mike was a Bad Man
and tough as they come.
A World Champion,
He, Retains the only one.
Handsomely heroic
Half human heavyweight
Hera hates, harries him
Hacks hideous hydras
Hunts horrid Hades hound
Hippolyta heister
Hitches honey, Hebe

"Yeah, Tolstoy,
the guy could write like he was carving his name
into a mountain.
A real heavyweight.
He saw the whole circus of life and didn’t blink.
Kings and peasants, love and death, all rolled into one.
Maybe too serious for his own good,
but that’s what made him real.
The man had guts,
a vision too big for most people to stomach.
When you ou read him, you felt it deep."
Ocular hypertension and
A couple of jabs here
I read the letters on the chart and
Threw in the towel
But she was adamant
The connotations
Pay-per-view Las Vegas
Ears bitten
Jubba-jubba-jib-jab and
A bathroom meteorologist
I got the receptionist
In a headlock
I didn't kill Davey Moore
But I made another appointment and
Promised her the next time I was in
I would be the heavyweight champion of the world
Boxing heavyweight king, Muhammad Ali,
was quick and strong, but also used psychology.
He'd let himself get pummeled, giving foes false hope -
like to George Foreman in Manila, his first "rope-a-dope."
*Rope a dope is a technique that Ali perfected when he
beat George Foreman. By just taking a beating to his
stomach as he leaned back into the ropes of the boxing
ring and letting the ropes absorb the force of those
blows, he was able to tire Foreman out and then let
him have it!!!
I am waiting in a silent prayer
Lord, I am troubled by the heavyweight I carry
in a world that is so uncertain, full of suffering and despair
must I go this pass alone?
Where are you, in my hour of sadness?
I humble myself before you now.
What would you have me do?
I cherish my family so; I feel so helpless
Let me wake from this nightmare,
and let them be whole again.
No more suffering, to be of sound mind.
I humble myself before you now.
Lord, I give them to you.
