The Olympic Games at last are over
The Brits never stood a chance
Three British runners forgot their kit
And had to do it in their pants
Australia took all the swimming gold
Their laughing all the way to the bank
While the British swimmers
Splashed around a bit
Before they eventually sank.
The marathon was dominated by Africans
They always have it in the bag
While the Brits kept stopping every mile or so
To have a crafty fag
Though the rowers and cyclists won gold
All above aboard, nothing corrupt
It’s not our fault all the opposition
Over slept and didn’t turn up
The British Olympics were an embarrassment
That they would be we already knew
So bad that they switched
The games to Paris
Before they were even half way through.
The French were happy to take them
They know how to put on a show
Though unfortunately they refused point blank
To take Boris Johnston and Sebastian Coe.
Oh well you can’t win 'em all
| i'm not convinced by this one i'm afraid, the cost of the games and Londoners paying for it for decades to come in council tax and oyster card fare rises strikes me by middle eye vision 25/07/12 (15:37) (report this comment) | |
| Not a big fan of the Olympics all that money spent just for a couple of weeks 'entertainment' and all they'll end up with is another football stadium, like London needed another one of those. by Gary W Hill 24/07/12 (18:48) (report this comment) | |
