Gregg Rose Not From Rio
G-regg rose not from Rio,
R-ealizing the uncovered truth;
E-ven if he looked like Latino
G-reat was the place of his
G-rowth.
D-etermined Gregg gave it all,
E-xerting each and every effort;
L-eading a life toward victory, bringing to him some sort of comfort.
R-isen from the Philippines
O-n September twenty-second;
S-uccessful Gregg was glad,
A-scending from far eastern nation.
R-isen not from beautiful Brazil,
I-nstead from province of mango;
O-riginated from Zambales, Gregg rose not from Rio.
