Lee Pearson
Lee Pearson is a para-equestrian athlete,
Because in horse jumping he does compete,
And has arlthrogryposis multiplex congenita,
Which he was born with in 1974, not bitter.
He’s a ten-times paralympic gold medalist,
‘Cos since Sydney 2000 he’s a perfectionist;
He won three gold in the 2000, 2004, 2008,
In the dressage, freestyle and team gate.
Lee was awarded an Honorary Doctorate,
From Staffordshire University in 2005 rate,
And got the MBE in 2001, the OBE in 2005,
Then was given a CBE in 2009 for his drive.
