Premium Member Mohammed Ali

Mohammed Ali 
Dancing in the ring 
Flying like a butterfly 
Eying the title-world champ 
He took on anyone 
The belt was his to hold... 
Until defeat...he shakes a hand 
He fought Joe Frazier three times 
He was the greatest boxer

Smoking Joe Fraser, no sting as a bee…
That knack resides with Mohammed Ali!
   Though killer in Manila…
   Very persistent fellow,
Smoked the rope a dope folly, by golly!

I once boxed Mohammed Ali. Then I knocked him out in Round Three. I thrust out my chest to show who was best. Said, “Yo, now who stings like a bee?” 5th Place Name Dropper Limerick Contest Sponsor: Kevin Shaw 9/14/17

On the Death of Mohammed Ali, Three Clerihews

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

The Boxer

The Boxer  
 
  

  He had the saddest eyes I have ever seen
  hands trembled like a drunkard`s
  after a fortnight's  bender but a dipsomaniac 
  can always have another drink
 Ali could not Parkinson`s disease saw to that
 This poet of the ring a victim of success 
 egged on too long, just another fight my love
 Honours and medal they bestowed him 
 it came too late his voice was but a whisper
 In the glade butterflies fly as he once did
 but not as fast as Mohammed Ali.
