The Aisles of Fleece
Olympic Games, Olympic Games,
which Heracles began for Zeus,
where heroes seek immortal fames
and wonder Will the sponsors see us?
Through dope-tests and security
they bear the torch of purity.
The IOC and ODA,
with loads of National Lottery funds,
present you with a fine array
of corpulence in cummerbunds,
and athletes too, running and jumping,
with side-show scalping and gazumping.
The opening ceremony will show
the health and cultural wealth of nations,
each peacock-proud, and none moreso
than, gracious hosts of these celebrations,
the British, consigned to mere TV
from impecuniosity.
