End of the Olympics

They say that viewership was down But everyone I know Watched some of the Olympics And enjoyed the athletes’ show. From the skiing, skating, hockey, Curling, skeleton and luge, The effort was amazing And the jumps were simply huge. To all those who won the medals And the ones who didn’t place, I applaud you for your discipline, Your style and your grace. From my couch, as you competed, I sat riveted each night In amazement as you battled And the fans roared in delight. Now it’s back to “Law and Order,” The “Chicago” shows and such. I will miss my evening viewing Of the athletes very much.

In a few stanzas you managed to include most of what took place in weeks, Ilene! I too enjoyed watching these feats on snow and ice, and all 'clean' athletes are worthy of admiration. Regards // paul

I thought the figure ice skating the best of all. Some couples really did enthrall.
