Bradley Wiggins

Bradley Wiggins.

Ghent in Belgium his life began

mother English father Australian.

Father left mum, Bradley just two

mother bidding Ghent adieu.

Kilburn in London her mothers flat

just one more move after that.

Maida Vale an affluent place

the Wiggins quick to embrace.

Bradley at first football mad

seemingly just a passing fad.

On TV he watched a cycle race

Chris Boardman was the ace.

The Olympic Games in ninety two

gold the colour that Boardman drew.

Bradley loved the cycling game

wanting to win and entertain.

Seven Olynpic medals won

four gold and a silver one.

Two bronze, not to forget

Bradleys not finished yet.

A Knighthood and world fame

easily our best cycling name.

His father was a cyclist too

somewhat further down the queue.
