Sunshine beams through clouds of grey
Cool Friday – heaps of friends away;
Laid back neighbours stop and greet…
Free parking spaces in my street!
All trains to Paris are delayed
A terrorist attack’s been made
Just when the Games are due to start
What has upset French applecart?
Olympic Village, V.I.P.s
Tickets change hands at high fees;
With TV coverage
assured
Hey, let’s not go overboard!
Vast crowds expected by the Seine
A grand opening – in the rain?
‘Team Belgium’ hopes to do us proud
1-6-4 hopefuls make a crowd!
Neutrality is hard to fix
As politics and sport don’t mix;
But athletes who are sure to please
Are the brave group of Refugees!
