Poems re the Winter Olympics
All these poems and only one mentioned hockey! That was from CraigA:
Hockey, hockey, hock-
Ey, hockey, hockey, hockey,
And more hockey!
Ey, hockey, hockey, hockey,
And more hockey!
Curling, however, got plenty of love. I.e. from Jill Scoggins:
Curling: Still the best.
The sport that couch potatoes
happily get behind.

happily get behind.
And IPLawGuy:
Curling is way fun
Also not very easy
Want to play again.
Also not very easy
Want to play again.
And Jill Scoggins again:
But really, when we
address curling, we should put
"sport" in quotations.
address curling, we should put
"sport" in quotations.
And again:
Curling is the “sport”
where you can drink beer when it’s
not your turn to play.

But Anonymous talked about ice dancers:
Ice dancing couples
You make it look so easy!
How do you do it?
You make it look so easy!
How do you do it?
And Christine the pairs:
Flying through the air
Not a trapeze in their sight
Doing loop-dee loops.
Not a trapeze in their sight
Doing loop-dee loops.
(and also the sliders):
Flexible flyer
Not compatible with the
Skeleton ice slide.

And IPLawGuy had info:
Vienna's Quad God
Went to High School with daughters
Now local hero.

Now local hero.
And Anonymous had the lone snowboarding poem:
She flies a board,
Defies wind like an eagle—
Glory obscures pain.
Defies wind like an eagle—
Glory obscures pain.
