windswept windsurfing wallabies warbling whales wailing................................................................................
A pink fish travelling with a tea towel is neither in a rush or dirty. Gridlocked gorillas getting grapes gracefully glide. Seafront mystery in windswept hair carrying a carrot, a jar of mustard, and ten grains of multicoloured rocks. A tambourine on a sponge cake can be beating but not beaten. And a lamb cawl is not a call nor a front crawl so place the gate and door at a sixty degree angle. Many custard cups play hockey with wildebeests in tutus. In a fingerless glove place nine toes, and in a pocket watch place a turning tubular pin. The frost from a llamas horn is neither stagnant or perfumed, it is merely a tidal wave of porridge.

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.
