Quatrain
Harry is amazing
There's none like him
He is the best
and hasn't injured a limb
Dogs are the best
Cats are the pests
Dogs are cool
and like to swim in a pool
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I have a crossbow
And can shoot you
Roses are red
Violets are blue
My doggo
Is cooler than you

Here lies Taj Cat
Who looked like a rat
His parents called the exterminators
He yelled and screamed and called them traitors
But his parents did not care and they feed him to a bear
Here lies Jari Jim
Who always fell in a bin
Instead of falling he tried to fly
Where Jari Jim met his demise

Paralympic Taekwondo is an adaptation of Taekwondo for athletes that have disabilities. The Tokyo 2021 Paralympics are the first time Para-Taekwondo has been held. Matches are made up of two to three-minute rounds and take place indoors on an octagonal-shaped court.
Badminton
Para-Badminton is a variant of badminton for athletes with a range of disabilities. Like Badminton, Para-Badminton is played on a rectangular-shaped court separated by a net. The aim of para-badminton is to, using a racquet, pass the shuttle from one side of the net to the opposing team on the other side and attempt to force an error in the opposition, therefore winning a point.
Archery
Para-Archery was introduced in the first Paralympics in Rome, 1960. The archer will fire a series of arrows at the target (122 cm in diameter ). The standard distance away from the target is 70m. There are two types of bows in para archery: The Recurve bow and the Compound bow. The Recurve Bow has limbs that curve away from the archer to increase power. The Compound Bow has a levering system usually made of pulleys and cables to bend the limbs.
Goalball
Goalball is a game for people with sight loss. The aim of the game is to roll the ball over the opposition's goal line. The Ball has bells in it so players must rely on their hearing to stop the ball. During the match, spectators must stay silent as the athletes cannot have noise interference. It is played indoors on a rectangular court with two goals on the side. It was invented in 1946 and was introduced to the paralympic games in 1976.
