When granny won Olympic gold is a fun collection of poems. These are my top ten. PUTTING THE SHOT Tomorrow I may put the shot, Or on the other hand, may not; For yesterday I put the shot, But where I put it, I forgot. Colin West R.I.P. The javelin Was travellin'; The judge Didn't budge Graham Denton RUDO Jude's judo was extremely rude ‘Cause Jude did judo in the nude. And all the judo judges felt He should at least have worn his belt. Mike Barfield OH NO Ho no The race Has been Cancelled- Just before Their main course Someone ate The starter. Andy Seed HOLIDAY PRINT There was a young man from Dundee Who had a great passion to ski, He skied with aggression, And left an impression- The shape of himself on a tree! Coral Rumble SPORTY FAMILY Dad's always wrestling (with the crossword); Granny's brilliant at running (the bath); Mum's good at curling (her heir); Grandad loves bowls (of ice cream); My brother's great at diving (into bed); My sisters are experts at rowing (with each other); And I'm very keen on polo (mints). What a sporty family! (not). Andy Seed I've run out of room to list all of my favourites so I'll have to write the titles: THE ARK OLYMPIC MY GRAMP TALKING FOR ENGLAND RECORDS I HOLD (in our house)
