muhammad ali poem

We begin
With the story of a bike,
A brand new Schwinn,
Red and white,
Ridden by Cassius Clay,
On a fine day,
When you noticed your bike
Was stolen away,
A moment that changed
Your life in one day;
With tears in your eyes,
You wanted some one to pay.
So you found a cop
And went on to say,
“I’m gonna whup whoever it was that stole my bike!”
The cop replied,
“First, kid, you hafta learn how to fight!”
