Sir Nigel Crisp has made it plain,
His aim in life is eternal fame,
And amongst his Record Breaking goals,
A ‘Nudist Expedition’ to the Earth’s South Pole.
Oh it may be cold with frosty air,
So a Woolly-Hat is the thing to wear.
Then after that in just one day,
He’ll Swim the A1 Motorway,
Of course it’s dry and Blacktop-Laid,
But that’s the Challenge the Road has made.
Then next his wondrous great event,
The first ‘Cold Air’ Ballooning assent,
It’s never been done, or so it’s claimed,
‘But Science’ he said ‘Is about to be shamed’.
And another stunt and Hair-Brained’ Plan,
Is to ‘Jump’ across a 18mile span,
Of the great ‘Grand Canyon’ by Muscle Power,
By peddling a Bike, 600miles an hour.
And straight across to much acclaim,
Well ; that’s the plan he’s set in train.
A trifle Odd it must be said ,
But these strange schemes do fill his head.
So when next you read of Courage Paid,
In the ‘Guinness’ Book of Records made,
Be not surprised by a page or two,
Of Sir Nigel’s feats of Daring-Do.

This was a pure fun poem that put a smile on my face and for that I give it a fave. I think that this good Sir is up for a Darwin award.
Thank you for Reading and your Comment. Sir Nigel said ‘A Darwin Award! I’d like to thank my Public , My Agent , My Chiropodist, The Lady I see every Thursday , no questions asked , also’...
A fun poem Kevin. Light hearted humour. That’s the ticket. You reminded me of my brother. (sadly no longer with us) He used to study the Guiness Book of Records as a kid. A mine of information he was 🙂 Have a happy Thursday.
Happy you enjoyed it.
Sorry about your Brother. Sounds like my sort of Person, as I also like to delve in such Books. Remember those Brothers on ‘Record Breakers’ years back with Roy Castle; they knew all the Records achieved. Thank you.
Brother died ten years ago. As a kid he had a photographic memory. Ask him any question about any sport, he could answer it. Train and bus timetables he knew off by heart and all the routes. And the Guiness Book of records that he got one Christmas, he knew inside out lol. Thanks for bringing both Roy Castle and my brother back.
Enjoyed this so much Kevin! Light and crisp🙏🏻🕊
‘Light and Crisp’: just the way I like my Chips. Thank you for Reading
