Float
(First thought that came to mind)
Float like a butterfly sting like a bee!
Who hasn’t heard of Muhammad Ali
His birth name was Cassius Clay
Born in Louisville Kentucky
A boxer who fought in light and heavyweight bouts
He reigned as undisputed heavyweight with clout
Refusing conscription into the US military
He was charged as a draft dodger and hence found guilty
He successfully appealed, the decision overturned
After boxing, in charitable works he was concerned
He stood fast in what he believed
To his honour he continually cleaved
Although not personally a boxing fan
I have to admire the boxer and the man

He embodied courage, Phyllis, in his adherence to his principles, in the ring, in facing the disease that ravaged his body. Truly a hero. 😉 xoM

It is interesting how the years have changed public perception. I remember when he was treated like public enemy number 1.
