Carol Ann Duffy, the Poet Laureate has penned an ode for the Olympics. [url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-15196672 ]Linky[/url]
I’m pretty sure that we, the STW massif, can come up with something also that will convey the magnitude, spectacle and expensive of the forthcoming extravaganza.
Here is mine.
[i]There was a young man called Coe,
Who had a plan that cost plenty of dough,
The venue was impressive,
The cost was excessive,
And no ******er could afford to go.[/i]

There was a young man called Coe,
Who had a plan to make plenty of dough,
It was only the banks,
And their overpaid w**ks,
That could really afford to go.
Olympian I
Water is best,while gold gleams like blazing fire in the night,
brightest amid a rich man’s wealth;
but, my heart, if it is of games that you wish to sing,
look no further than the sun; as there is no star
that shines with more warmth by day from a clear sky,
so we can speak of no more expensive spectacle than Olympia.
(except for maybe war)
