Jonnie Peacock

Jonnie Peacock was born on 28th May in 1993, And is an English sprinter and right leg amputee, He won gold in the vital games of London 2012, And into the category T44 he does neatly delve. He was born in Cambridge, that old university town, But at the age of 5 meningitis did make him frown, So he asked his hospital for some football facilities, Who gave him a prosthetic for his lively jocularities. Directed to Paralympic sport, he did truly awaken, To running the 100 metres, and he was totally taken, Not faking, he raced at the Paralympic World Cup, His first international, in Manchester, he did build up. Next month June, the US Paralympic trials do occur, Jonnie set a record time of 10.85 to squarely concur, With his coach Dan Pfaff, who believed he could win, At the London Paralympics, where we saw him grin!
