Following on from a call out by the brilliant nonsense poet Colin West on X/ Twitter to write sports-themed nonsense poems for kids, I had to come up with something. (Scroll down to see the original X link)
Somehow, this just sprinted backwards into my head. 😜
I hope you enjoy my 100 metres poem of nonsense.
Disqualified
I won the 100 Metres
I had the longest stride
and I was quicker than the rest
but got disqualified
I ran the wrong direction
My win I will defend
For I still crossed the starting line
before they reached the end
