Josef Craig

This man loves Newcastle United football club, And has overcome Graves’ disease thyroidal, By having an op to remove that deathly snub, Of his prowess in the swimming pool brutal. He won a bronze in the 100 metres freestyle, At the British Swimming Championships 2012, Then at the UK championships international, Those for disabled people, he won in the youth. He also took gold there, in the 50m men’s youth, In 29.95 secs, and in the men’s open 400 metres, He won bronze. At the London Paras the truth, Is he was Britain’s youngest gold medalist, cheers! He was the North East’s own sports personality, And won the MBE in 2013. CP is his condition, And he’s gone from being an S7 by true nobility, To being a category S8, by his rugged dedication.
