There may be some
Olympians
who look like burly thugs,
with self abuse
through their misuse
of strength-enhancing drugs.

But - play the game -
he’s not to blame
so pity this contestant,
who simply chose
to clear his nose
with nasal decongestant.

With skill and speed
he has achieved
a record-breaking win.
His nasal spray
can’t take away
the hard work he’s put in.

So, please take note,
before you vote
to strip him of his Gold,
It isn’t cheating
simply treating
sore throats or a cold!

As always, Mike, the rhythm and rhyme are excellent. Very amusing, very true and very topical!! Well done once again.

It's the women who look like burly thugs I worry about...
