Ayrton Senna Poem by Francis Duggan

Many claim he was the greatest the king of the fast lane
And that the likes of Senna will not be seen again
The motor racing legend sacrificed his life for gain
And though he may be gone forever the memory will remain

Of the three times World Champion who proved his driving skill
And a hero of the masses was the driver from Brazil
But what use to him the glory or fame or fortune now
And without him motor racing will carry on somehow.

The motor racing deeds of Ayrton Senna now part of history
And his great duels with Alain Prost will live on in memory
But he met with the grim reaper and the grim reaper won
And he was just a mortal when all is said and done.

A motor racing legend he died in Italy
And his fans claim he was the greatest no greater one than he
A three times World Champion his was a revered name
But what use now to him fortune or what use now to him fame?
