I spotted these words on a wall on the east of the river Gilao, in Tavira, Portugal, and knew exactly where this particular arrangement of some of the alphabet came from. It’s a famous quote from Muhammad Ali, the former World Heavyweight boxing champion, who taunted his opponent Sonny Liston, in the lead up to their fight in 1964. These words look like they may have been on the wall since then.
Float like a butterfly
Sting like a bee
Ahhhh rumble young man, rumble
This is my second post for the Weekly Photo Challenge of Alphabet.

Some young mind was dreaming. I like stumbling across these little things. They simply make you smile 🙂
Love what you’ve done with the ‘writing on the wall.’ 😀 😀
Ah yes, I remember when he first uttered these words. 🙂 Great find, Gilly.
Great find! Yes, we ALL know those words – they became quite famous!
I agree!
I always love your haiku. And in this case the dilapidated background is a bonus.
I can’t believe it was as long ago as 1964. Where have all the intervening years gone?
Indeed 🙂 Now I’ll have to go looking for them!
Well spotted, Gilly.

What an eye!
It’s a shame he’s so ill right now but he was a real champion in so many ways.
He uttered those words and it was popular right from the start. Great find, Gilly.
I like your choice for the challenge.
