Author's Note: I'm not a good poet, but I wanted to write something to express my love and fascination for the four-time World Heavyweight Champion, Dave Batista. Enjoy!
Ode to The Animal
You are big and built like a beast,
Yet when you put the microphone up to your mouth,
The taste of your words is soft, tender, and sweet.
But your words have put you through some trouble and controversy,
It takes a lot of guts for a top Superstar to express his total honesty.
When your entrance music hits,
Thousands of fanatics scream your name,
Whether in tight wrestling trunks or in a dark Armani suit,
Your moves are always the same.
The pyro sparks in the background flare at tremendous height,
Your presence in and out of the ring ignites the girls, including myself,
Into a chaotic hype.
From the beginning, you have been unstoppable in the ring,
Powerbombing your opponents, one, two, three.
Steel cages, Hell in a Cell, Punjabi Prison,
You have achieved great stride,
But your biggest accomplishment was winning the title for the first time in 2005.
A heel in one of the most dominant factions in the WWE,
Suddenly turned babyface one day by powerbombing Triple H through a table with authority.
You have fought your way through life from rags to riches,
Once you hit big, you've managed to date two WWE divas,
Whom I consider downright bitches.
Negativity aside, you've been seasoned and trained by the best there is,
One day, you'll be inducted into the Hall of Fame with cheering fans as your witnesses.
My goal is to meet you before you retire,
But I don't know when that will be,
I will tell you this now, with or without a belt,
You will always be a champion to me.
