Amateurism, when participating
Was
more important than winning
Well
that idealism has been lost
Because
today it’s win at all cost

AMATEURISM
LONDON 2012 # 2
Alas I was in error
There
is no end to the terror
Alas
I was sadly wrong
The
Olympic whinge goes on
TRANSFER SURPRISE
I was surprised Mario Balotelli left City
Though
it was surrounded in farce
I
would have thought it more likely
That
he’d disappear up his own arse
BOXING DAY SPORT
Boxing Day is very popular
For Sport of all kinds in the UK
But in our corner of the land
Trial Pursuit is order of the day
I LOVE THE OLYMPICS
I love the Olympics
And
now it’s on home soil
It
gives us an opportunity
As
our competitors toil
To
see them taking part
In
events of this and that
Of
seeing all the many sports
The
team GB are so awful at
THE ESSEX GAMES
The Essex Games
Begin
next year
For
the Essex folk
Who
will appear
In
man made fibres
And
gaudy splendour
To
watch the best of them
In
their endeavours
When
Dave and Chelsea
Shazza
and Baz
Will
perform for us to watch
In
such events as
Copping
a strop
Vagazaling
The
stiletto 100m
And
the bling
Throwing
a tantrum
The
Alco pop crawl
The
face dive
And
the ungraceful fall
As
yet the events list
Is
relatively small
Unless
you can suggest
Anything
at all?
2012 - SUMMER OF SPORT
For the most splendid
Summer
of sport
We
should thank Lord Coe
And
all the ambassadors
All
the games makers
And
the volunteers
We
should thank the armed forces
For
stepping into the breech
Technicians
and officials
All
the competitors
For
performing to their best
And
the spectators
Just
for being there
And
last but by no means least
For
their foresight
All
those years ago
In
clearing the Olympic site
We
say a big thank you
To
the German Luftwaffe
WE WERE AT THE WEIGHTLIFTING
We were at the weightlifting
Watching
the woman at work
My
friend shouted “great snatch”
I
said, “Isn’t this the clean and jerk?”
THE BEST FORM OF EXERCISE
The best form of exercise
Is
sex! Well that’s what they say
But
five minutes at Christmas
Won’t
take my beer gut away
LONDON 2012 # 1
After seven long years
Of
blood sweat and tears
The
games can commence
And
that test of human endurance
Can
come to an end
As
we abandon that trend
That
has made us all cringe
The
seven-year Olympic whinge
