Roy Pett Poet Rhyme

Athletics Jolt

In the Year two thousand and seventeen 
athletics world certainly got a jolt
something they shouldn't have ever seen
defeated hero, the amazing Usain Bolt,

eight men over a short distanced battling 
for a gold medal in the world championships
beaten by athletics villain, Justin Gatlin
jeering and booing from sad people's lips.

Gatlin may have won race and gold medal
spectators all over the world ready to revolt,
not willing to support an athletic rebel 
especially denying hero, Usain Bolt.

Joseph May August 7, 2017 at 4:53 AM The villain beats the Bolt,.. I really enjoyed this write Roy, and it was quite a shocker when he came in 3rd. Roy Pett August 7, 2017 at 5:48 AM Thank you very much Joseph, I think this result shocked the whole athletic fraternity, but he has made history so many times that he will be one of the sporting legends. Thanks again for your support. :)

Thanks again for your support much appreciated. :)
