The odd shaped missile flying past my head
was a half eaten sandwich from yesterdays bread
Three javelins just missed my eyes
sharpened pencils, obviously in disguise
Gymnastics are one of the favourites I can vouch
three boys have bounced the life out of my couch
The long jump & high jump have taken there toll
each wall and door have a foot sized hole
The swimming events have left me reeling
it was the water pouring through the ceiling
Boxing and weight lifting are all great fun
till you see the black eye & bruising on my son
Then there\'s discus, hammer and skeets
several saucers. boots and a variety of meats
If you think the Olympics are great fun to see
just come to my house and see the pain financially.
