Jonathan Broom-Edwards

Tall as they come, this man is 1 metre 85, A basketball player inspired by the 2012s, To compete in disability sport so to thrive, At the high jump, his practice bookshelves. Loughborough students encouraged him, To work on his basketball leaps by trying, To high jump. He was so taken, no whim, With the London Paras, he was pertaining, That he became a T44 athlete for team GB, To qualify with PB of 2.06 at Bedford in May; 2013 also saw him in the IPC, Lyon to see, Where he took silver, loosing to Poland, ok. 2014 IPC Europeans in Swansea, Wales, And he got another PB with 2.15m, a WR, Which would’ve won gold in London sails, But he had to accept silver, Poland did bar. Jonathan lives in Reading at the age of 28, But was born in Colchester well fine, fair, With a clubbed foot, a week right knee fate, And muscular imbalance thru his body, lair.
