Olympics
| by Betty Batt |
| The poem was written in response to a challenge to write something about the Olympics. Our meeting took place shortly before the Olympics opened in London. I wonder if Betty's view changed after the event? |
To me the Olympics are boring,
and I wasn’t going to write about it But I did this morning. In time when the economy is spiraling, I think, why have it! and the weather just keeps pouring. So I’ll put on me boots and drag the dog out. Walk in the Marsh, do the things that I love. Watch the birds in the sky, Just for me performing. Hey! is it me who is boring? © Betty Batt |
