Marathon Man

He’s a man with a purpose

He’s a man with a plan

He’s a man on a mission

He’s a marathon man


Flying fast out the blocks

Number one on his vest

Proudly leading the pack

Hopes for personal best

Watch him run down your road

Watch him sprint down your street

With his super-strong legs

Joined to super-strong feet


He’s a man with a purpose

He’s a man with a plan

He’s a man on a mission

He’s a marathon man


Trains so hard at the gym

An obsessive speed freak

Brags ‘I could beat the Flash

‘Any day of the week!’

Fully frozen in snow

Scorched and sizzled in sun

To us - our worst nightmare

To him - fabulous fun


He’s a man with a purpose

He’s a man with a plan

He’s a man on a mission

He’s a marathon man


Ever up to the task

Of each challenging race

‘Thump, thump, thump’ pounds his heart

As he quickens the pace

Fully focused, flat out

Past the finishing line

Gains a medal of gold

In a world record time


He’s a man with a purpose

He’s a man with a plan

He’s a man on a mission

He’s a marathon man


He’s a marathon man

He’s a marathon man

HE’S A MARATHON MAN!
