Hurrah For The Golden Boy Poem by Molly Mukotekwa

Everyone can dream
It is only natural to have dreams
But some dreams remain just that
Dreams
That is not so
For one Jamaican superstar

He dreamt of being big
And believes anything is possible
But he exhibits a playful public personae
Let not all be fooled
For he is a very serious athlete
Who puts in a lot of work
To excel in his game
You can ignore him at your own risk

All the fooling around
Which are his trademark before a race
Are ways to help him cope
With the stress associated with a big event
Everyman has ways of coping
With such occasions
And this is his way of doing so

When the gun goes
No one can catch him
He is the best of the best
There can not be another medal
Except for gold
For the talented Jamaican
