Naked in the Palaestra,
Wrestler Leontiskos, of Messene,
Was awarded laurels with the required three falls,
Having broken two of his opponent’s fingers.
He was applauded as a hero of the games.
A lyric ode was composed to document his triumph.
It was the highlight of his career.
Naked in the Palestra,
Streaker Leon MacBride, of Manayunk,
Was awarded ninety days community service,
Having been required to register as a sex offender.
He was applauded as they dragged him off the court.
A Facebook meme was posted to document his triumph.
It was the highlight of his career.
