Hey, everybody, this is T. Harbecker. And as you know, just a few days ago. One of my heroes. Muhammad Ali, passed away. He was a great, great man. And he was so charismatic. He was a true model for all humankind, I believe. And he had a special place in my heart. When I was very young. Well, actually, when I was 13 years old. I wrote a poem about Muhammad Ali. And as a young, you know, young guy. And he was my hero. And his name had even been changed yet to Muhammad Ali was still Cassius Clay. So as a little tribute to him. I'm just going to recite the poem I wrote when I was 13 years old. Which is three years ago. Something like that. But truly an honor to be able to have him touch my life. And everything that was about him. He was just a special, special guy. So I'll just begin right now. My name is Cassius Clay.
And when I fight, I do not play.
I fight a guy, Terrell. And boy, he thinks he swell.
But I'll show him that he's all wrong.
Cause I'm so mighty and I'm so strong.
Sometimes they call me the Mouth. But when I fight, I'm a real grouch.
They say I talk too much.
But when I get through. He'll need a crutch. Cause I got so much strength and power. When he comes near me, he'll be devoured. I know this fight won't last long.
Because I'm so mighty and I'm so strong. Love you, Mohammed.
