Beijing Olympics

It was not too long ago

The Olympics show was a go

Now it's about to come to a stop

Beijing's about to close shop

So maybe it's time

To reflect on what was sublime

Was it Phelps

Or the Jamaica Bolt

For me it was a jolt

Realising that the women are now in revolt

To look like ladies

Rather then laddies

Before - Fatimah Whitbread a laddie   

Now - Leryn Franco definitely a lady

Not convinced??! Try these

As the Eighth of August approaches
It is the problem of the coaches
To keep their charges
Calm and away from unforseen discharges

All the travel shows
Are intensifying the flow
Of images of all things Chinese
As it is now the bees-knees

So there goes Tony
Ian, Magen, and Bobby
To the Great Wall
Where they've all had their call
