He is not the man that he used to be
The town's greatest athlete in his physical prime
Though this is going back many decades in time
When he was the town's greatest athlete
Handsome, slim and tall and quick on his feet
A former Olympian and three times National eight hundred metres champion and one of the World's best
And seldom found to be wanting then when put to the test
Eight times a great granddad divorced from his wife
Who feels happy to have a new man in her life
Had he given up running with him she would have stayed
But even to save his marriage too much of a sacrifice for him to have made
Rain, hail or shine he jogs every day
Though nowadays his fastest pace slow in truth one can say.
