"For The Hot Rod"
Disclaimer: I do not own anything associated with World Wrestling Entertainment and it's wrestlers. The World Wrestling Entertainment, the wrestlers and their likeliness are owned by the chairman, Vince McMahon. Anyway, this is my poem dedicated to the late great "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, may he rest in peace.
"Rowdy" Roddy Piper
Greatest Scot of all time
No matter if he was treated like a hero
Or a villainous form of slime
He was crazy and nutty like a squirrel
Always willing to get down
Hot Rod was always the real deal
He wasn't no pitiful clown
Piper's Pit was his possession
It's more than some honorable mentions
Just when they think they have all the answers
The Hot Rod changes the questions
From hitting Jimmy Snuka with a coconut
To shaving a midget's hair like Mr. T
No other man could escape Piper's wrath
Just like Adrian Adonis's hair at WrestleMania III.
He proved he was all business
In both the ring and the big screen
Whether with a gun or his bare fists
He always knew how to get 'em in the spleen
Piper was painted half-black at WrestleMania VI
He knew he ain't no joke
Much funny when at WrestleMania V
He blew Morton Downey Jr. with a lot of smoke
Although he never captured the brass ring
It didn't bother him that much there
He became IC Champ in his career
As well as being Tag champs with Ric Flair
Roddy was awesome in They Live
Where he fought disgusting alien scum
Where his main motto in life
Is to kick ass and chew bubblegum
Even though he'd be out of gum
His fighting attitude remained the same
Which was why the cool things he did in his life
Put him in the WWE Hall of Fame
Now he's long gone from us
We really shouldn't whine and cry
It's a time of celebration and memory
Of a legend playing his bagpipes in the sky
He's a villain and hero all in one
He will never be some ordinary fool
If there's one thing we'll always learn from the Hot Rod
It's that he was rowdy before rowdy was cool!
I gotta admit, I had a brave and heavy heart writing this. No one will ever match what Hot Rod's done. It's like they say, "Often imitated, never duplicated". We should all remember that.
Anyway, feedbacks are welcome! Until next time, this is UltimateWarriorFan4Ever signing off! And one more, R.I.P. Hot Rod! You will be missed!
