Olympic Games

The Olympics is where the worlds best,
athletes get together,
for the ultimate test.
Sixteen days, where young and old,
watch the contestants striving,
to gain a medal of gold.
All races, colours, and creeds, together as one,
forgetting all national differences,
by participating, and having fun.
