Amira Willighagen


Amira Willighagen.



Nijmegen city a girl born

her voice mellow as a flugelhorn.

Just nine years of age she gets on stage

precocious ahead of her years in age.

Maria Callas


Maria Callas.



New York, Manhattan born

nineteen twenty three her first yawn.

A plump girl as she matured,

myopia she endured.



Classical piano her first choice

then discovering her singing voice.

Singing it was she much preferred

with singing inspired, stirred.



Parents split, mother returned to Greece

a little more domestic peace.

Taking her two daughters with her

finding Maria a singing teacher.



Elvira de Hidalgo by name

herself of international singing fame.

She declared Maria a phenomenon

“she could do it all nothing wrong”.



World wide fame as 'The Divine'

not always on cloud nine.

Weight problems, scandals too

her affair with Onassis causing rue.



Finally in Paris all alone

this lonely person so well known.

A heart attack ends her it all

her superb recordings still enthral.

Joachim Low


Joachim Low



Schonau, Germany his birth,youth

quiet, modest, somewhat aloof.

Good footballer, not a big name

attacking midfielder his preferred game.



With SC Freiburg his best record

top scorer and much adored

Unfortunately only Bundesliga two

nationally, not much ado.



Under 21s they gave him a try

four times then goodbye.

Never made Germany's senior team

that had to stay a pipe dream.



Management a tough time

certainly not a rapid climb.

Sacked several times

not impressing boardroom minds.



In 2006 his dream came true

he finally made the break through.

Jurgen Klinsmann had resigned

as deputy Low assigned.



Years of blending his kind of team

the results in his world cup dream.

Brazil trashed good and true

Argentina got theirs too.

Rory McIlroy


Rory Mcllroy



Rory a Holywood County Down man

nineteen eighty nine life began.

At two years of age hitting balls

some forty yards his father recalls.



A world champion aged just ten

the only begotten a little gem.

Junior Ryder cup team aged fifteen

beating the American youth team.



Aged sixteen he shot a sixty one

Royal Portrush, course record gone.

Turning professional at just eighteen

youngest card holder the tour had seen.



Seven PGA wins to date

let me just accentuate.

Quail Hollow he wins his first

holding off Phil Mickleson's burst.



The U.S. Open his number two

by eight shots a brilliant coup.

The Honda Classic number three

again he shows his pedigree.



PGA Champ at the Ocean Course

eight shot clear this tour de force.

Deutsche Bank not with ease

just one shot a tight squeeze.



BMW by just two strokes

then again it'll do folks.

Then the big one is his

in The Open he did the biz.



The first day a six shot lead

a brilliant round indeed.

Ricky Fowler pressed to the end

our hero he could not transcend.

Gilbert and George.

Gilbert and George a blue stocking dance
they declared it is a romance.
The loved Margaret Thatcher royalty too
a quiet corner a little soft shoe.

Stella McCartney

Stella McCartney.


Successful parents of course
a comforting tour de force.
Nineteen seventy one born
Lambeth, London her first yawn.

A difficult birth caesarean section
father present displaying tension.
At thirteen she starts to create
her own clothes an independent trait.

From Central St Martins she graduates
with lifelong friends and associates.
Her graduation collection on show
with super models we know.

Naomi Campbell, Le Bon, Kate Moss
it didn't run at a loss.
A London Boutique bought complete
Stella had joined the elite.

I think we've got to say
the McCartney's are here to stay.
Song fashion and food
admittedly pretty shrewd.

If only we had a football team
plus Wimbledon's strawberries, cream.
I'd gladly walk to Scotland and back
to salute the Union Jack
