Such Hype

When, oh when, will people learn

To not create such hype

That might make someone crash and burn

With reason, then, to gripe?

 

At the Olympics, all the eyes

Were focused to behold

The skaters meant to grab the prize

Which, naturally, was gold.

 

The ice dance leaders did their best,

Their program filled with magic.

The judges, though, were more impressed

With others, not quite tragic

 

Yet disappointing, since the world

Expected gold success.

The way they glided, jumped and twirled

Meant silver caused distress.

 

The competition for the men

Was even worse than that,

For all the hype exploded when

The leader’s skate fell flat.

 

The pressure facing athletes there

Must mess with all their heads.

What they don’t need is extra glare

To rip their nerves to shreds.
