Mikey Jones
Mikey made his Paralympic debut,
At Rio, but won the 400m freestyle,
In the S7 category, limited leg use,
So he’s pleased to bits, surprised.
His dad sadly passed away before,
Rio, with just 58 days to go, grief,
“The race was dedicated to him.”
“To win gold is [my young] dream.”
Born in Hampshire’s New Milton,
On the 10th day of June in 1994,
Mikey lives, trains in Manchester,
At the Centre of Nat. Performance.
He achieved a world rank of 2nd,
In the 400m freestyle, front crawl,
So he’s someone to watch keenly,
In the future for British success.
