Shafted

Bobby Aiken was proud to be Scotch.
As a pole-vaulter he was top-notch.
But on one faulty try
he became a soprano guy,
having been poled crack-on in the crotch.

Another very good one. The meter on this one was perfect almost all the way through.

I wonder if it has ever happened. Perhaps we should take a POLL. Thanks for commenting, Lindsay. I appreciate it.
