John Daly
at 54
Daly ain’t afraid
to die
never knew much
about him
other than his penchant
for wild looking pants
but saw an interview online
he interviews well
saw he wrote a book
curious
so looked it up
and bought it online
was somewhere in the middle
pages
when heard about his current cancer
being cut out
and how he’s dealing
with it
just a handful of pages left
now to read
and I don’t want it to end
he’s made me laugh so hard
and cry so good
he’s about as real as they come
cusses like a sailor
smokes like a weed
drank ‘til he was drained
an eye for the ladies
enjoys excess to the extreme
falls in love easily
as he forgives
can size up a room
and find the broken heart
he doesn’t kick the down and out
on the street
or walk on by oblivious
he sees them where they are
and lifts them …
yeah, I’m a fan
for life
and it ain’t got nothing to do
with golf
you’re like a real live Rocky
Yo, Daly …
keep those hands up
keep those feet moving
keep that heart
that Lion’s heart
beating strong
stay outta the corner
and in the ring
