Watching the Olympics
Does provide the perfect view
Of athletes doing all the things
You couldn’t ever do.
A triple axel or a quad,
A backflip or a grab
On skis or skates or snowboards,
No one with an ounce of flab.
Whether skeleton or bobsleigh,
Curling, hockey, Nordic, luge,
Every type of competition
Highlights skills not short of huge.
So it’s nice to eat some popcorn
And relax, in from the cold,
With the TV turned to Italy
And races for the gold.
To marvel at competitors
And hear their praises sung
For the feats beyond your talents,
Even back when you were young.
India we do not see snow
Uff! to much heat you know
I want to have a snowball fight
Build a snowman with delight
Snowboards fast down the hill
Fall down like jack and jill
But in Calcutta there is lot of heat
no snow here very sad fete
