Ryan Cockbill
When Ryan had just finished his GCSE’s,
And was having fun at a friend’s party,
He belly flopped into a child’s paddle pool,
Broke his back, so he’s paralysed partly.
Rehab included para-shooting, many guns,
And Mandeville showed him sports galore,
And in time he found he loved to compete,
So he joined team GB shooting to shore.
His Paralympic debut was London, 2012,
Where he was the British Torch Bearer,
And he made Rio, he comes from Aldridge,
Born on 17 June 1990, an internet tare.
