Johnny The Champion

The best athlete in the Country when in his physical prime
Old Johnny the Champion has lost out to time
The years on the best of them eventually does show
And Johnny by time had been left walkng slow
At the height of his glory so quick on his feet
Against the best in the Country with success he did compete
In hundreds of track races he seldom knew of defeat
And everytime he competed he was the one to beat
Of his big athletic wins stories written and told
But even the best becomes slower as they grow old
The onset of age is beyond our control
And time on the body eventually takes it's toll
Johnny the Champion at peace now does lay
The once great athlete he was buried today.
