Fighter, lover, politics too
own man through and through
his stolen bike set him off
he ranted about this sly rip off.
Joe Martin he ran to next
the cop could see he was perplexed
Joe showed him the local gym
"get in there, get stuck in".
The upshot was an Olympic Gold
just 18, brave and bold
a pro career he started next
the World Title he then annexed.
"I AM THE GREATEST" he would shout
of that there was no doubt
the Louisville Lip had achieved his aim
he also achieved everlasting fame.
philanthropist, reformer too
social work he would pursue
out of the box, plenty of clout
a great American there is no doubt.
jb EL GAMIL CLUB ALDERSHOT
