Answer To the Vietnamese Enemy

I knew you don't go in,
     But I wasn't coming out.
          When you're a fish in the fish bowl
     Going belly up.

Medal of Honor

The army awarded my son a medal.
"Extraordinary heroism," they said.
They handed it to me and not to him;
My hero-son is dead.

The Olympic Medal

To be given a gold medal
You have to win the gold medal
To take drugs and cheat
Is winning without merit
To dishonour the olympics
Is to dishonour Yourself.

wake up
time for meddling
meddling away the day
it's got a bad rap
 wake up
pray on demand
yelling goes over well
with a no no no never
yelling deserves the medal 
 dinner plate of medley would be just fine
side of baby corn's will come up later
deserves a medal
fun

We cannot all be that, right?
Do we even want to be?
Or would it be silly …

Watching humans follow commands.
Jump.
Sit.
Run.
Stop.
Trot.

Best-in-show
We all want the prize money
And the ribbons

But who wants to do
All of that parading?
Not this dog.

Gold Medal

Hello out there, Team Canada, don't be scared.....

It's gold medal fight, that Team USA wins tonight

And the whole world knows, CROSBY BLOWS! As the puck goes down the ice.

Luongo jumps, and the Americans bump, and the Canadians show disdain...

Someone roars: "RAFALSKI SCORES!", and Team USA wins the game....

today is a day for heroes
a time to salute the bravest

put life and limb on the line
for their comrades and country

The Medal

The Medal



I dislike bragging
Once I won a bronze medal
For running
Sixty meters 
I wore the medal 
Every day
Even when going to bed
Put it under my pillow
One day it wasn’t there
I think my brother 
Took it.
It was found 
Behind the bookshelf
Yes, we only had one
10 years later.
By then I had become blazê
Gold was the goal
I never got won anything
Since my day
Of copper coloured brilliance.

But once I won a Bronze medal
For running

Every day 
And when going to bed
Put it under 
My pillow. 
One day it was not there
I think my brother
Took it 
It was found behind the bookshelf
Yes, we only had one
10 years later 
By then I had become blaze
Gold was the goal
But I had never won a thing
Since my day 
Of copper coloured brilliance

Premium Member Gold Medal

A policeman named Abele Bibka
Never ran marathons in Korea
   Won Olympics in Rome
   Took a gold medal home
His country then named, Abyssinia



________________________________
You can't make up a name like this...
Abele was in the military guard of
then-Emperor Hailie Selassie. He
won the gold medal in 1960, back 
when most Olympic athletes were
true amateurs, training in their 
'spare time.'... Do you know what
Abele's country's name is today?!

Exercise

The pain and the success,
The aches and the medals,
The sweat before the shower,
Feeling weak where you once felt power.

The trips and the podiums,
The icy morns and the sunlit eves,
The strained pant before the joyous exhale,
A winning mentality to beat any fear of fail.

The disappointments and the smiles,
The sore backs and the comforting throb of rest,
A question of challenge becomes an answer of what if?
Choosing safe and secure or to leap from that cliff.

Premium Member I Wear the Chain

‘I wear the chain forged in life.’ – Charles Dickens from A Christmas Carol.
Enduring the daily drudgery ahead – providing no comfort, only burden. Resisting the luxury of memories as regrets only serve a selfish purpose – clamouring like Marley’s chains. The dulcet tones of unchained laughter free of guile and regrets. I welcome the many fond memories – comforting medals of honour. I embrace the promise of the family gathering ahead.
