Poem Title:
Poem
‘MO!’ His feet placed just behind the line; that look upon his face Shows his mind is focused, ready for the next big race. Enjoys the cheers of all his fans but no time for distraction Determined concentration as he stands there, poised for action. The starting pistol echoes and he’s pacing down the track; Ensures that he’s positioned well and ready to attack. Knows just when the time is right; a quick increase in speed As he strides past other runners and gets into the lead. Time for you to go, Mo, show them that you mean To be one of the greatest that the world has ever seen. Time for you to go, Mo, show them what you’ve got Then we all can celebrate and do the Mobot! He was born in Somalia in nineteen eighty-three. Don’t suppose his parents knew that he’d turn out to be A middle-distance runner who’d be awarded ‘double gold’; When Farah found his talent, what a future would unfold. Moved with his dad to England but was puzzled when he heard This country’s strange new language and could hardly say a word. His p.e. teacher spotted him and thought that he could show This boy the new direction-yes, the way he ought to go. Time for you to go, Mo, show them that you mean To be one of the greatest that the world has ever seen. Time for you to go, Mo, show them what you’ve got Then we all can celebrate and do the Mobot! Mo then becomes a champion and has a brand new life With a stepdaughter, two baby girls and Tania, his wife. A follower of Arsenal and a loyal Muslim who Believes that fame should ease the lives of other people too. Sets up his own charity: ‘The Mo Farah Foundation’ Providing water, food and hope to those in other nations. Families in east Africa will have the chance to grow New strength since Mo decided ‘That’s the way I want to go.’ Time for you to go, Mo, show them that you mean To be one of the greatest that the world has ever seen. Time for you to go, Mo, show them what you’ve got Then we all can celebrate and do the Mobot- Yes, then we all can celebrate and do the Mobot!
