2781

What did they say Harry?

 

Everything's in French!

 

Got the Aussie commentary-

 

Never on the fence.

 

Overloaded boats up the river Seine,

 

Waving like excited children, 

 

Playing in the rain.

 

As I wonder what comes next..

 

OBSURITE 

 

I can only guess, not knowing any French. 

 

SOLIDARITY 

 

The reaper on a horse?

 

Dark musical backing..

 

Of coarse. 

 

Up to the tower

Walking with a pillow?

 

It's the flag, I think?

 

Off to the fridge for another drink. 

 

Raised the flag to something like a hymn..

 

Wondered again-

Are they singing about Him?

 

But the mood is up

Let the games begin..

 

SOLENNITE 

 

As darkness takes the light..

 

Well I could go on but who wants to fight. 

 

Hope all enjoy the show but there is one thing I would like to know-

 

If USA could find four hundred and fifty, they could call elite..

 

How come they could only find two loonies for the presidential seat?

 

Just my final word with the lighting of the flame, 

 

Reminded me of the Hindenburg. 

 

My wife thinks I'm insane.

    "If USA could find four hundred and fifty, they could call elite..
    How come they could only find two loonies for the presidential seat?
    Just my final word with the lighting of the flame,
    Reminded me of the Hindenburg.
    My wife thinks I'm insane."
    This stanza or two made me laugh and that is the mark of greatness. Loved it.

          Think I'm slightly more rational, but haven't got a missis to disabuse me of that delusion.πŸ˜‚

            Rational, irrational..
            It's like a see saw, needs some balance.

                It all must bow down.

                OK, you stumped me with "obsurite" and "SOLENNITE" on the way to a great read. And yes, out of 341,814,420 we get these. How sad.

                  Stumped me to! They were in capital's so someone must have found them important??
                  As for me, I am partial to some lunacy...
