Olympic Games

Five Rings

5 rings that link a small world
together for a week or so.
Prime athletes from all the globe
their prowess there on show.
From giant leaps of height or length
to speeds that seem from Mars
Any way to reach their goals
for medals made from Gold Bars.

To be the best in the world at sports some find quite strange.
From cycles to guns to boats to weights
Any talent a sport's arranged

For bronze for silver and gold they train , to be the best of the best
four years apart to prove themselves
they train and never rest.

But think about those that came 4th a mo' perhaps they think they failed '
Have no medal won to show or their ship has gone and sailed.
But rest assured you hero's, you were there in the mix.
A billion people watched you compete at the Rio Olympics.
