Speed Guy
There once was guy named Tom
A very reserved guy indeed
And also very calm
There came a day when he skied at a high speed
And tripped over a chain
When he woke up, he did not fell all right
He got up and started walking around to make sure he was sane
But when he walked slow, he went the speed of light
Tom had developed super speed
At soccer, he outran the fastest
And later became envied
Because he was the greatest
He became less shy
And when he ran, he looked like a phantom
Because his speed and reflexes for those of a fly
For this is the story of Tom
This is pretty good. Better wording could be used, though.
