There once was a swimmer we knew
who went for not one medal, but two.
Two Bronzes later,
the Press interrogate her,
but why? She swam better than you!
Olympericks
Failed At Tennis
There once was a terrible menace
who tried, but was no good at tennis.
She said “Just one sport
is less fun than I thought”,
so she did seven. It was Jessica Ennis.
Sprint
There once was a Dutch female sprinter
who used clogs to train in the Winter.
Being made out of wood,
the grip wasn’t good,
and it left her the odd painful splinter.
Mo Farah
Whilst off on a long distance run,
Mo Farah chose to make it more fun.
He jumped over a hurdle,
fell into a purdle,
but his coach said “That’s the Steeplechase, son!”
Javelin
There once was a javelin-thrower
who was built like a gold-medal rower,
but he tripped as he threw,
the javelin went through his shoe,
and the scoresheet said Distance Thrown: Nowher’.
Shot Put
There once was a British shot putter
who was nice but a complete utter nutter.
After a Personal Best,
he tore off his vest,
and covered himself in hot butter.
