The Olympics

The gymnasts and swimmers all move ‘round
The trick is not to slip on the ground
Some swim like fish
Some fly and swish
And to the podium they are bound!

The marathoners burn up the track
The weightlifters have strong arms and back
They lift up high
Tho God knows why
And their goal is not to hear a crack!

The Olympic games are really fun
For the nations and for everyone
The athletes will cry
And so will I…
My poor eyes will be glad when they’re done!
