Smoking Joe

A Tribute Poem for Smokin’ Joe Frazier

By Robert Brizel, Head Real Combat Media Boxing Correspondent

 

Float like a smoking cannon, sting like a tree

Smokin’ Joe Frazier’s soul be free

The trees and the leaves blow with the season

Ali’s there and I’m gone. What’s the reason?

 

Left hook, right hook, took ‘em down

Knocked ’em out and won the heavyweight crown

Lots of dollars come and went

Took my land and left me without a cent.

 

Ain’t no more smoke where I am now

No training camps or rotten chow

Muhammad Ali was my friend, you know

Where did all the time go?

 

With my moustache and jewelry and wardrobe

They said my style of life was like no other

My spirit lives on in the City of Philadelphia

Love to you, my brother.
