Once there was a man named Bob,
He had a ball that he would lob.
The Olympics he would enter,
To become the attention centre.
He signed up for the shotput,
But just then he sprained his foot.
The crowd roared with anger and hate,
They had to see him; Bob couldn’t be late.
They got out of their seats and started a riot,
No one could stop them, not even try it.
Through their search, everything they smashed,
Little did they know, Bob had already dashed.
Bob’s new identity will blow you away,
His new name is Johnny McRudel Estay.
He works as a window cleaner, which only made the people meaner.
“Ha ha” they laughed, “Ha ha” they said, “With that job, your children couldn’t be fed!”
