An Ode to the Olympics

Skin-tight clothing, padded bums
Facial bruising, broken thumbs
Baggy clothes, protective hat
Tumbling, turning, corking, SPLAT!
Down the hill and through the pipe
Stick the landing, prove the hype 
Win the medal, get the hugs
Don’t be “Russian”, don’t take drugs
Curl the stone and hit the puck
Ride the luge and test your luck
Shoot the target, conquer fears
Try again in four more years
