The Town's Greatest Cyclist

Aspirational sports person your muscles need a rest
Why shorten your life for glory on trying to be the best
The human body like an engine when worked hard quickly wears out
Medical experts claim constant hard exercise can bring on a heart attack their reasoning why doubt
The town's greatest cyclist in his mid twenties he died the other day
After winning a big race for glory his price to pay
Had he not pushed his body beyond the limit he would not have died so young
He will not hear the eulogy when his praises are sung
The greatest ever cyclist to be raised in the town
But he paid by far too huge a price for widespread sporting renown
His family and fans and friends are grieving his young partner in tears
Had he not craved sporting glory he may have had lived for years
The human heart like a car engine it can only take so much strain
And though the fans of cycling good memories of him will retain
He died in his mid twenties his heart under too much stress
It was a huge price that he paid for ultimate sporting success.
