6 Music Breakfast's resident poet Murray Lachlan Young joined Shaun this morning with a special poem about the Lycra Dad

Off from the lights
like a bullet from a gun

Lycra dad Lycra dad

Going like an Elk
in the midday sun

Lycra dad Lycra dad

Sucking up the burn
Past the junior classes
Full length body stocking
Wrap-round glasses

Eyes on the prize
with the piston thighs
Taking motivation
from the children鈥檚 cries

Who鈥檚 Dad鈥檚 that Dad?
Who鈥檚 dad鈥檚 that Dad?
Who鈥檚 Dad鈥檚 that Dad?
Who鈥檚 dad鈥檚 that Dad?

Boom like a jet plane
half way markers
Blocking out the static
of the past disasters

Lycra Dad Lycra Dad

Smoking to the front
with his elbows flaring
Surging past the pack
with whole school staring

Now is his time
Now is his time
Now is his time
Now is his time

Don鈥檛 look now
Another Dad鈥檚 on his shoulder
Three stone heavier
Ten years older

Lycra Dad Lycra Dad

Carrying a beer
And screaming baby
Holding up his phone
For a high speed selfie

Go Dad, go Dad
Go Dad, go Dad!
Go Dad, go Dad
Go Dad, go Dad!

Oooooooooooooooooh!

Nice long holiday
Prozac daily
Sports psychologist鈥檚
Name is Haley

Visualise your victory
Hear the crowd cheer
Fail, fail again fail better
Train harder wear more lycra

And there鈥檚 always next year.
