Ode To A Wrestler 09/22/01

A wrestler was there who was almost 17 stone

Who was all-American down to the bone

He was a little short for his occupation

But he made up for it with his determination

He would go out and fight so bold and brave

Even when his chances of winning looked grave

Although he had two gold medals to his name

He wanted the belt of impeccable fame

He would give every wrestler he faced a shock

Of pain with the dreaded Ankle Lock

When everyone thought he was down and out

He came back with enough strength for another bout

Before winning the Olympics he overcame

A broken neck and shot up to fame

His medals were stolen by the Texas rattlesnake

Who then threw them to the bottom of the lake

With anger in his heart and revenge on his mind

He sought the Texan out intending to be anything but kind

He made the rattlesnake beg and cry

"Please don't kill me, I don't want to die!"

He had brown hair, blue eyes and a heart of gold

His only mortal enemy was a man who called himself Stone Cold

His outfit was always red, white, and blue

And to the WWF he would always be true
