Cadel!
by Oscar O’Brien
Year 4A, Gray St Primary, Hamilton, Victoria.
Did you hear about Cadel, racing through the Arc de Triomphe?
He’s been in and out the papers for round about a month
His teammates, friends and family think him a pretty nice bloke
Don’t think any Aussie would think him a bit of a joke.
But there’s one thing I’ve been wondering – if someone could just tell
There is this little question about how they all would smell.
Twenty-one days of riding through Paris and all around France
I’d hate to get a whiff of Cadel’s underpants!

Thanks for your poem. You must have been thinking about that for a long time – at least 21 days.
Also, I like your initials: OOB (In golf that means Out Of Bounds)

Well done Oscar – funny poem. How do the cyclists go to the toilet when they are riding for hours at a time without a break? Do you know?
