The museum guard had a baby boy
He almost cried with pride and joy
He had curly hair, eyes like chestnut
A pointy nose, on his chin a beauty spot
He looked like the golden mask at work
So dad decided, "we shall name him Tut."
Tut was born with a leg slightly shorter
But it didn't stop him from being a sporter
Football (soccer) was his favorite hobby
He had a gift, but he wasn't snobby
The awful part was the bullies teasing
Their words and laughter displeasing
Said he couldn't play if he paid them money
"Cause you run like a girl and your name is funny."
Tut was sad but he didn't give up
He practiced alone with a ball of socks
His dream was to play in The World Cup
And to score goals with his free kicks
He was twelve, but he had ambition
And he believed in a personal mission:
"If Earth is a ball, then kick it hard
Aim for the goal, or you get a red card."
