…more Olympic glory

author: MS Paint

I ran the races
Defined the chasers
Divided nations
And their heartbreak
Saw the cheaters
Like mosquitos
Biting at my heels
Mucho contrito
El supremo
I shook the course
Made my way
A tour de force
Neither wrack nor ruin
Was the gameplay
La Conquista
Is the mainstay
To take gold
Just kids at play
Keep your candy
For back straight trails
It’s contagious
…almost outrageous
You can protect your momma
But not on my stage
Bitch
Okay, okay
It’s only a race
Just have fun
Like in the park
Having a run
L-O-L
Where do you come from
Some back alley —
Where the heat’s on
You could have been a contender
Not a frolicking pretender
Buckle up bitch
Or go play your Fender
Gimme the smell
Of menthol in the morning
Give me victory
And medal hunt glory
It’s addictive
But not quite accretive
Six hundred bronze
Is more an expletive
Let’s stay the course
For a new day dawning
Let’s pretend class
If not a farce
A lost race
Make no excuses
’Cause back in the village
…another STI
Wanted to pillage
Ride the moped
Low and behold
Caught bronze and covid
