Gary W Hill (1104 )




A Very British Olympics


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

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.

Our collections showcase a variety of themes, writing styles and poets from all walks of life. They are carefully edited and compiled to celebrate and complement the craft that all of our contributors enjoy poetry.
