Well done Jerome, both for the poem and for being first. I've been writing this while waiting (in vain) for England to get a Sri Lankan wicket.
The Olympics
Let me tell you about the Olympics.
It isn't for sissies or geeks.
You wear singlets and shorts and it's like your school sports
Except it goes on for two weeks.
The Olympians sweat for their countries.
With the running and jumping and stuff.
And the one that does best gets a gong on the chest
For being so fit and so tough.
There's a regular do when they open
With singing and marching and torches.
And rich foreign bods pay well over the odds
To come in their jets and their Porsches.
And when it's all over they'll tell us
Though London's a hell of a mess
And costs are still mounting, no worries, who's counting?
It's been an oustanding success.
