Watching the Olympics
Watching the Olympics,
Streaming live or on TV,
Is quite thrilling and amazing,
All that it’s supposed to be.
The stories and performances
Are poignant and exciting;
The ceremonies and the medals
Psyching and uniting.
Despite the talk of Zika
And the crime on Rio’s streets,
The competition’s given us
Some television treats.
So play on, all you athletes;
We’re in awe of what you do
And are grateful that what you achieve
Is there for us to view.
