Ron

He is not or was  was never a good athlete

Though in many a race he does compete

He has never yet finished in first, second or third place

Yet he always does have a big smile on his face

In his early thirties a true sportsman Ron

His wife Jean and young son and daughter always there to cheer him on

His sort they are rare those who compete for fun

He is one who finds pleasure on his every run

On Ron's attitude to life a lesson for everyone

He finds joy in competing though he has never won

Of more people like he is the Human World is in need

One can say of his sort they are a rare breed

In any race he runs in never to the fore

Ron on his next birthday will be thirty four

A good sportsaman and good person of him one can say

We need more like him in the World of today.
