"farr" poems
Won boxing matches with Lewis , Lasky, Corn Griffin, Swiderski,
Then many more titles with Griffiths, Farr, Stillman, and Levandowski,
Jackson, Caggiano, Darnell and Dobson
Something he could tell his grandson
His greatest match of all was the title he earned against Max Baer
The fight was the ultimate win at Gardens of Madison Square
A very passionate man for his wife and children he went to great lengths
To keep his family together during the depression, even in times of brink
Served honorably in WWII as a 1st Lieutenant
Owned a surplus supplier of marine equipment
Helped to construct the bridge Verrazano
It was the proud city’s beautiful Picasso
Gone is Jim Braddock, a movie about him, CINDERELLA MAN to be sure he’s not forgotten
His Granddaughter Rosemarie Dewitt played his neighbor Sara Wilson, who was downtrodden

an' when at lasste
they reach'd
the fartheste shorre
an' placed
their booted feet
'pon her ****** soil
they turned and lookt
wi' shaded eyes
farr 'cross
the Tranquil Sea
beheld the beauty
of their mothers' grayce
a crowne of starrs
Her diadem
an' tho they long
for Her embrayce
must heed the calle
an' join tha' race
oh tha' Song of Destiny
tis tha' which burns
within our souls
Her ardent voyce
doth beckon us
to reach
the farr-flung starrs
Her siren's song
drawin' us
to touch
the fartheste shorre
beyonde the seas
beyonde the klouds
out to the starrs
we journey farr
we venture forth
to search
to know
to reach beyond
and touch
The Fartheste Shorre

When your stories are against you
You feel like the sideline character
Ppl tell you, your Soo farr behind
A look at yourself, you would shatter the mirror
You hated what you were
Even after doing your bestt
You felt like a mess
You had forgotten where you came from
You had forgotten your dreams and ambition
Once again when you saw the colors of the world
You realized that you weren't the problem
Ppl wanted to distroy a talent
And you made their challenge simpler.

When I was young
My friends used to talk
About kingswood country
One friend used to say
You can’t take the kingswood
I polished the dashboard
No I am taking the Datsun
And I felt part of a group
Laughing at that tv show
In 2005 my aunty gave me
Kingswood country for Christmas
And I watched it imagining I
Was mucking with my friend
You can’t take the kingswood
I am taking the Datsun
You see I was enjoying
Walking down memory lane
With Ted Thelma Bruno Craig
And I hear pat saying
‘ I am like Craig ‘
You see Bruno stuck up for himself
I showed my friend the show
That boosted my mojo back then
Even now
Mojo is good an adult word for being cool
I feel I have man’s kid foot
It is not a disease it is a boost of mojo
I enjoyed catching up on kingswood country
It was part of the eighties
In which I listened to every eighties thing on
Like def leopard and cheap trick and all the boppy music too
The eighties rule
Let’s turn back time to revisit the eighties
Goodbye Ross Higgins
