Watching the Olympics
Does provide
the perfect view
Of athletes
doing all the things
You couldn’t
ever do.
A triple
axel or a quad,
A backflip
or a grab
On skis or
skates or snowboards,
No one with
an ounce of flab.
Whether
skeleton or bobsleigh,
Curling,
hockey, Nordic, luge,
Every type
of competition
Highlights
skills not short of huge.
So it’s nice
to eat some popcorn
And relax,
in from the cold,
With the TV
turned to Italy
And races
for the gold.
To marvel at
competitors
And hear
their praises sung
For the
feats beyond your talents,
Even back
when you were young.
