She was born without a left hand, entangled, But she was firstly a swimmer, she jangled, Then she became a cyclist on road and track, And is still pedalling strong, not to look back. She swam in Barcelona in 1992 and won, Two golds, three silvers and a bronzed one, Then in 2008, again at the Paras her fifth, She won the individual pursuit with much pith. Sarah Storey won Britain’s first gold in the C5, In the women’s individual pursuit she’d thrive, And in the C4-5 5000m, C4-5, and on road, She won each one with a gold that was owed. In 2014 she founded a sports cycling team, Which supports a breast cancer charity keen, And she became a MBE in 1998, OBE in 2009, Then she was made a dame in 2013, long line. She married Barney her coach and duel pilot, For the tandem duel ride, which could be a riot, And was on the 2012 Celebrity Mastermind IQ, With Sex & The City, and also has a girl to coo.
