The Olympics has invaded my mind

Like a strong drink or weed inhalation

I want and need to but can’t turn aside

I’ve seen too much golden information

It’s much more open now to all nations

Now drug cheats from the eastern bloc have gone

Remember the Russians and East Germans

No longer on the medal podium

Now talent allied to dedication

Can be enough. If your country’s behind

You with funding, then that celebration

Can be yours, can be ours as we look on

As I do now, as the athletes unwind

Around the bend of Bird’s Nest Stadium

Thank goodness, the coverage of the Olympics is nearly over for the day and I can do something else. But I just remembered- the football has started!
