Let’s get fizzical…
Congratulations to Biniam Girmay on his first stage victory in one of cycling’s Grand Tours, the Giro d’Italia.
Unfortunately another ‘first’ came soon after when he cracked open some Italian bubbly on the victor’s podium only to spend several hours in hospital as a result! Sadly, he had to abandon the race as…
The bottle’s seasoned cork
Flew out awry,
Caught him in the eye,
And Biniam bit the dust!
(no prizes for guessing the lacto-orientated song that inspired those lines)
Here’s the limerick:
A cyclist raised his arms to the sky
When he won his first race then let fly
The cork from its bottle,
Which hit him full throttle,
How’s that for one in the eye!
