The fastest man on water,
Was his claim to fame.
Bluebird sped like a rocket.
Its demise was such a shame.

The fastest on land as well.
In South Australia at Lake Eyre,
A land speed record was set.
403 mph with room to spare.

Lake Coniston was his farewell,
In January 1967 at the age of forty-five.
Campbell had plans to retire,
Even though was born to drive.
