The 100% man

The 100% man

  With the peleton complaining

             grown men are in tears

   Their heart rate racing

             betraying their fears,

   The JFR boys muse

            of their health concerns

   As rounding last Bobbo corner

            the 100% man turns.

  They say today’s fifty is really

            A bygones forty

   But what manifestation

            for one oh so naughty,

   A liver of life

            he has high ideals

   He’s not all that shy

            Listen up! he’ll say what he feels.

  He’s aging like a wine

            improving in taste

   Or will grumpiness grow

            in line with his haste?

   Will his directness continue

            to taunt our town

   Or will his humour grow barren

              just like his crown?

  W hat’s this 100% man?

              How silly are you

   Just ask any JFR rider

              Cause he’s out front paying his due,

   it’s over, we’ve crested the col

               Slow down, time to rest

   No not him

              Bobbo’s 10min barrier he’s to test.  

             

  Now take it from me

             Training buddies are hard to find

   They come n go forget the day

              But not this bugger

   He’s there, he’s commited, he leads the way,

              First it was riding 3 days a week

   Now its full time tristars

              It’s not for the meek.

               

 He came to this new land

              With Family in tow

  but why was the howl

                they all did go,

  It hasn’t been easy

                sometimes tough

  There faith ever stronger

               Now many friends to kid and bluff.

 Thursday scriptures in a group

              Obey your man he doth chime,

   Not today honey

              Now give me that wine

   Christian values they have instilled

               For Jarryd, Kim and Jess

   But don’t mention the engagement

              It could be a mess

  An Australian family

              You could now say

   Rottie Hill, Asquith Leagues

              They do play,

   ‘were all going on a summer holiday’

               Golden oldies enjoying most,

  Fleetwood Mac, Cliff Richard

               They do boast.

             

 The lady of the house

              Yvonne’s no pushover either

   Done the Argus, does Noosa

              Full of Energy not taking a breather,

   Got weddings to plan

               Not a moments rest,

  Look out Jarryd, Jess

               She’s expecting the best.

 So hurrah for these two yappies

             fifty in years

   courageous with attitude

             in laughter and tears,

   Lastly a personal word

              To the 100% man

   I’m honoured, we’re privileged

              You’re the best mate one can.
