The Winter Olympics

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.
