To be read preferably with a pair of very resonant bongos playing in the background. This is a boxer's [Baluba] manager speaking to another boxer's manager before a fight.

When Baluba box,
He box good.
Baluba bad
Understood?

Baluba great
Baluba bad
Baluba dangerous
When mad.


Baluba?
He got iron jaw
When Baluba punch
Baluba score

Baluba dance
Baluba weave
Baluba make
Yo mama grieve,

Baluba?
He come knock you out
Baluba say
Baluba shout

and when he shout
you best beware
You best look out
When Baluba stare.

Baluba?
He no talk too much
Baluba break
What Baluba touch

And when he touch
you best be gone
cause when he touch
the fight be done.

So don't tell me
Yo fighter glad
To fight Baluba
When Baluba mad

Baluba here
Fo yo fighter's crown.
Ya better fear!
Ya hea?


You clown!

Glad you all enjoyed it.
I wrote this poem about twenty years ago.
But I could not find the original which is somewhere in my apartment in some corner in some box I suppose along with hundreds of others poems written years ago. So I had to reconstruct it from memory.
Thanks for the feedback!
